FAQs
What we do
We are dedicated to helping nonprofit Christian organizations raise funds. One method is to enable people who shop online to support nonprofit organizations through their purchases. A percentage of all purchases is donated automatically to nonprofit organizations designated by purchasers, at no cost to themselves or the nonprofit organizations.
What does it cost to participate?
Absolutely nothing. Neither nonprofit organizations nor their supporters are charged anything for this service.
How does the service work?
When people shop through our network of retailers, we are paid a commission. We pass through the listed commission to the nonprofit organization they designate. Outside the listed percentages, we retain a smaller portion (typically 1/5) of retailer commissions to fund our development and operation. For example, we donate 4% and retain 1% of the total 5% commission received from itunes.com.
What are the requirements?
- Visit the web site of the organization you would like to support & click the link for online shopping. (If you don't see a link, contact the organization & ask them to register with us.)
- Click on a store & enjoy shopping from the comfort of home, with no crowds & no cost for gas. When you make a purchase, your ministry earns a percentage of that purchase.
Should I come back to Fundraising Solutions Network every time I shop online?
Absolutely! Only purchases initiated from the Fundraising Solutions Network website earn donations. You should bookmark our website and remember to come back. Every purchase makes a difference!
Am I buying from Fundraising Solutions Network or the retailers?
Shoppers are buying directly from our retailer partners. Our retailers handle payment, shipping, returns and any other service.
Is shopping through this service secure?
Yes! Our retailers have strict security measures in place to ensure that transactions are safe and customer information is secure.
Am I paying the same price when I shop through this service?
Shopping through this service will never cost you more than you would pay if you shopped with our retailers directly. In fact, shopping here will often save you money through exclusive coupon codes and deals gathered just for our members. And you enjoy the same level of service from our retail partners.
Does Fundraising Solutions Network respect shoppers’ privacy?
Yes! We will never share or sell any confidential information. Please review our Privacy Policy for more details.
Do I get a tax deduction?
No. The IRS limits tax deductibility for donations to the amount paid over and above the fair market price for an item. Since the prices you pay when buying from our retailer partners through our site are the same as if you purchased directly from the merchant, no tax-deductible event occurs. But you are helping your nonprofit organization with just a few clicks, for free.
