How we handle your money.

Here is what you can expect when you give.

  • No tip added at checkout. Ever.

    The amount you choose is the amount you give. Covering processing costs is optional and starts unchecked.

  • Every box starts empty.

    Nothing on the form is ticked for you, so nothing is added that you did not choose.

  • You can stop a monthly gift at any time.

    You can also change or pause it through the link we email you.

  • We share every cancellation.

    We share the date, the debt cancelled, and how many people it reached.
