Your donation goes directly into the donation processor account set up by the organization. Most donations reach the bank accounts of the fundraising site owner within one week, but some organizations need to manually request transfers of funds to their bank account.

If the fundraising site uses PayPal to process donations, you can either login to your PayPal account to donate or pay by credit/debit card, or Venmo for U.S. Venmo accounts.

To pay with credit/debit card, select the Pay with a Debit or Credit Card:

One of the most common errors is that your credit card has already been associated with a PayPal account. Just select Pay with a PayPal account to login and complete your donation. If you do not remember your login or password, select “Problem with login?”

If you have made transactions on PayPal without creating an account, PayPal will require you to create a PayPal account if your credit card has reached the lifetime max of $4000 in transactions.

Unfortunately, if you are encountering trouble while on a PayPal screen, it is an issue with PayPal. We recommend taking a screenshot of any error messages you receive and sending your questions along to PayPal Support.

If you aren't redirected to PayPal, then the campaign is using a donation processor called Stripe for Donation Processing. Most of the time that we hear about issues like this it's due to a restriction placed on the card by the bank preventing transactions with Stripe. We recommend calling your bank and request that the restriction be lifted.
​
If by chance you call and that is not the issue, I recommend contacting Stripe and request they look into why the transaction failed, and see what they can do to get the transaction processed.

While Stripe does work with all major credit cards across currencies, Stripe does not work with Discover cards for organizations in Canada. If you run into this problem, please try using another card or contacting the organization for other donation methods.

We do not take check donations on CauseVox. Please contact the CauseVox fundraising site owner and snail mail a check to their address. They will be able to add your offline donation into CauseVox so that the progress counter reflects your donation.

Yes. You can still donate after the end date hits zero.

You'll get your donation receipt within minutes of making your donation. If you don't see it in your inbox, we recommend checking your spam folder.

If you still don't see it or if you have any questions about if the donation is tax-deductible, you can find the organization's contact information in the site's navigation bar or footer.

Donation receipts are sent via email to the address that you input while donating. All donation receipts include your transaction information at the very least.

Donation receipts are customizable so their look is based on what the CauseVox fundraising site administrator setup.

It depends on how you donated. Here are the general options:
