Every section below is structure only: the headings are real, the words are not. Nothing on this page has been written or reviewed by a lawyer, and none of it may be published. Amber markers are the holes. Counsel and a tax professional to draft. Nothing here may be published as tax advice.
Where your money actually goes

Whether it's deductible
Buying goods at a store and having them shipped to a 501(c)(3) is not the same as a cash donation, and deductibility is a question for your own circumstances and the organisation's rules — not for us. deductibility language — must be drafted by a tax professional
The records we keep
Every claim is logged: the item, the store, the list, the date and your name and email. Your giving history shows it, and an organisation sees the claims on its own lists. The merchant holds the purchase receipt; we hold the coordination record. record retention + export format
What organisations are responsible for
