The donation from Babyganics was a huge hit. It was very hot, and every [sunscreen] sample was passed out. We had hundreds, if not thousands, of kids. Some folks shared that Babyganics was the brand they used. Please thank them for us!

FAQ’S:

  • Will I see more donations after upgrading?

    No, what you qualify for is based solely on company-established criteria, not level of membership. Upgrading WILL NOT increase your donation selections. However, the Event Marketing Review included with an upgrade could uncover additional opportunities and ways to qualify for more.

  • What is the typical ROI of an upgrade?

    Upgraded events in 2023 received an average of 4.8x the number of donations and $10,500 in more donation value than free accounts; (national average as of July 5, 2023; results can vary by city/region).

  • Are there fees you collect based on what we receive?

    No, DonationMatch DOES NOT collect a % of funds raised or a per-item charge. It is free to utilize our platform at the free account level. If you choose to upgrade, upgrade fees are all-inclusive for platform services. In the rare instance that a donation provider asks for reimbursement, such as for shipping and handling of physical goods, an estimate of those potential costs is required to be disclosed before requests are made, and fees would be payable directly to providers, not DonationMatch.
