|
| How will Givzy.com make me a citizen philanthropist? |
| Whenever you or your friends choose to respond to a discreet ad in Givzy-mail, we will donate 25% of the revenue that we receive to the selected school or non-profit. Thanks to your action, a donation will be made to a good cause… but it costs you nothing! |
|
|
| How do I forward Givzy-mail to my friends? |
| You can forward a Givzy-mail like any other e-mail. Once you receive a Givzy-mail in your email inbox, simply forward it as you normally would, using your existing contacts (and/or Givzy Group List). The more emails / people you forward the email to, the more you can give to good causes! |
|
|
| Can I choose the organization I want to benefit? |
| If you’ve specifically signed up through one of our partner non-profits (i.e. via a newsletter or website link) then all of your proceeds will go to them. Otherwise…simply select the non-profit of your choice from our drop down available during the sign up process, in the optional section! If you don’t select a non-profit in the optional registration section or if you don’t fill out the optional registration section at all, your dollars are split among our general pot of benefitting non-profits. (Click here to see the current list.) Hopefully you’ll find a cause that you’d like to support and we are working hard on giving you more options to choose from in the near future. |
|
|
| Who are the advertisers? Can I control the advertising content? |
| We only accept advertising from responsible companies that support our partner organizations and non-profits. We only accept advertising that we feel is family friendly. (Click here to see a list of our advertisers.) |
|
|
| How do the organizations, schools and non-profits receive donations? |
| When a Givzy-mail subscriber responds to one of the ads a Givzy-mail, the advertiser pays Givzy an agreed-upon amount. We send 25% of that amount to non-profits and good causes. That’s a lot of money that Givzy.com gives! |
|
|
| How do I get my favorite school or non-profit involved? |
| We have a Non-Profit-Partner-Program (NPPP), which allows approved Non Profits to build a partnership with Givzy. Please have the Non-Profit contact us at partnersships@givzy.com to get signed up. |
|
|
| Is the money I raise for schools and non-profits a tax deduction for me? |
| Good try! Unfortunately, you can only deduct money that you’ve donated from your own income! Since it is not actually coming out of your pocket, there is nothing to deduct. But think of the good you’ve done without spending a penny of your own. If you have additional questions, please consult your accountant or tax advisor to get the most accurate info on this subject. |
|
|
| How do I know how much money I've raised? Can I show my friends? |
| Check your Givzy-Tracker! (Coming Soon) This will show you how much money you've raised to-date. You can also embed the Givzy-Tracker widget on your personal website as well as your Facebook or MySpace profile (Coming Soon). |
|
|
| How does Givzy.com make money? |
| Givzy.com receives revenue from advertisers. To be clear, while we share 25% (which is very generous based on any corporate standards) of our Top Line (meaning TOTAL) revenue with Non-Profit organizations, we are a for-profit organization — we want to do everything we can but we’d also like to be a successful, profitable company! |
