Send or schedule a gift

On the web:

1. Select your Impact Account or an account you administer on the Home screen.
2. On the right side of the Impact Account overview, select Give to friends.

3. Choose one or more recipients by selecting friends already on Charitable Impact or by entering their email addresses in the Give to field. Separate multiple email addresses with commas. You can give to a maximum of 25 people per transaction.
4. Enter the amount you'd like to give. If you will be giving to multiple people in a single transaction, each person will receive the amount you choose—for example, if you give to 3 people, entering a $20 gift amount means each person will receive $20 for a total of $60 being withdrawn from your Impact Account.
5. Select Send now or Schedule gift. If you’re scheduling a gift, choose the Send date and the Frequency. You can choose to send a gift once, or repeat it weekly, monthly, or annually.
6. Select Continue.
7. Provide a reason for your gift, if you wish: Birthday, Thank you, Charitable Allowance, or other reason that you can specify. If you prefer not to say, that's OK too. This will only be visible to you in your Account details.

Good to know

When your gift recipient doesn't have an Impact Account

Recipients will be asked to sign up for an Impact Account. Once they've signed up, the charitable dollars you sent them will automatically appear in their Impact Account. 

When someone doesn't claim the charitable dollars you sent to them

Recipients have 30 days to sign up for an Impact Account and claim their charitable dollars. If the charitable dollars are not claimed within 30 days, they'll be returned to your Impact Account. You'll receive an email from Charitable Impact letting you know the money is back in your account.
