We are thrilled to offer you even more ways to attract gifts from new donors with your products and services from The Giving Block. We are adding cash donations to the ways donors can support your organization right within your donation form*. Please find FAQ's below and email our team at support@thegivingblock.com with any additional questions.
Why accept card donations through The Giving Block?
Lots of young investors (crypto and stocks alike) don't know about the tax incentive to donate appreciated assets. For all the young investors who see our campaigns, but aren't tax-literate enough to give crypto or stocks yet, we want to offer them an option to donate now and learn later. This approach will make us the platform that stewards young donors into larger non-cash assets for the first time, helping nonprofits earn their donations for a lifetime.
Crypto is our focus. Cards are a new feature on our crypto donation platform. Our focus continues to be on bringing you net new dollars from net new donors. This new feature is not meant to replace the way you take card donations on your website.
Do you charge more for Amex?
Yes, an additional 1% is charged for Amex. Other processors like Stripe which are used by Classy, FundraiseUp, Donorbox and many others charge this as well.
Will donors be able to cover our fees for card donations?
Yes, donors will be given the opportunity to cover processing fees for card gifts.
What does it look like in the donation form?
There will be a toggle between crypto and with crypto as the default. See below for how this will look and work for donors for crypto and card donations.
Where are these gifts tracked and how will I find my donor data and gift details?
Like with your Crypto gifts, you will navigate to The Giving Block Dashboard for all your gift details! Please see our article The Giving Block Dashboard for more details on the Donor Dashboard and how to utilize it.
What donor information will I receive?
You will receive the same information you do for crypto gifts, including name, email, and address unless it is an anonymous gift.
How will this integrate with my CRM?
All of our CRM integrations will have card and stock information added automatically.
Can donors give card gifts anonymously?
Yes, this will function just the way crypto gifts work. We can turn the anonymous gift acceptance on or off. This feature is universal and will impact all gift options available through your donation form. Reach out to our Support Team at support@thegivingblock.com if you would like to adjust this at any time. Please note, if you enable anonymous donations, it applies to all donation types uniformly.
When will I get my funds from cards?
Card transactions are settled daily and funds are sent to your account via ACH at that time from Shift4. Please allow 3-5 business days to receive the funds. To update your bank account, reach out to our Support Team at support@thegivingblock.com.
What is the minimum donation amount for credit card donations?
To deter fraudulent transactions from being processed through our credit card donation offering, we have implemented a minimum donation amount of $10.
How will receipts work for card donations?
For card donations, The Giving Block will provide the same automated tax receipts for each gift similar to your crypto donations.
Can I change my opt-out status to accept gifts of cards through the donation form?
You can opt-out or opt-in at any time for accepting gifts of cards.To change your status of either of these please reach out to our Support Team at support@thegivingblock.com.
Can I customize how the donation form displays the giving options?
You cannot customize the donation form giving options at this time. If you have stock and/or card giving options enabled they will be visible within all your donation forms. To make a request for a specific donation form display feature, please email support@thegivingblock.com so we can capture your feedback.
