extensive network
SAN
FRANCISCO, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Give
Freely, an innovative company committed to harnessing the
collective power of online commerce for charitable good, announces
today that it is partnering with Change, a leading donation
processing and compliance platform, to power charitable donations
collected via their browser extension. When consumers use Give
Freely's free browser extension to find discount codes and coupons,
they save real money and the affiliate fee is donated to
their nonprofit of choice.
This partnership with Change enables Give Freely users the
option to support over 1.3 million nonprofits with their donations.
Change's resilient infrastructure and donation payouts solution
adds an additional layer of security, ensuring that donations only
reach verified organizations that meet strict IRS compliance
standards. With Change's extensive network of nonprofits, users
have unparalleled choice and confidence in directing their savings
towards causes that matter to them.
"It's really important that our users have the
flexibility to donate to any causes they care about while balancing
the need for nonprofit verification and compliance. With Change's
robust nonprofit vetting standards, we know that every single
donation payout would be sent to verified, legitimate
organizations. This extra verification gives our users confidence
that every donation made is actually going to legitimate
charities."
– Steve Kaufer, CEO &
Co-Founder
Several reputable charities have signed on as launch partners
with Give Freely, including Charity: Water, Susan G. Komen, and UNICEF USA. Since launching last October, thousands
of shoppers have signed up, already generating tens of thousands of
dollars in donations.
This strategic alliance couldn't come at a more crucial time,
following the closure of AmazonSmile, which left many nonprofits
scrambling for much-needed financial support. Give Freely's free
browser extension is well positioned to address this gap and
encourages their mission to grow a culture of philanthropy at all
economic levels.
