For charities

Get funded by everyday shopping.

KindCart helps your supporters save money at stores they already shop. After a participating store confirms an eligible order, it can generate a donation to you at no extra cost to your charity or the supporter.

KindCart in 30 seconds

Shopping your supporters already do, turned into donations.

KindCart is a deals site and free Chrome extension. Participating stores may pay KindCart a commission on eligible orders. After that commission is confirmed, KindCart uses it to fund a donation to the charity the shopper picked and to operate the service. That charity can be you.

FAQ

Questions from charities

Something else? See all FAQs
How much does it cost?

Nothing. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee and no cost to supporters.

Where does the donation come from?

Participating stores or their affiliate networks may pay KindCart a commission after an eligible order. Once that commission is confirmed, Clear Tribe Solutions LLC, the company that runs KindCart, uses it to fund a donation to your organization and operate the service. Supporters do not pay extra and do not make the donation themselves.

How does the Chrome extension help?

After a supporter installs the free extension and picks you, KindCart can show a limited reminder on participating store sites, list that store’s deals and codes in the extension, and remind the supporter at checkout when giving is not active. The extension only reminds. Supporters choose what to use and complete their own purchases.

Do supporters have to start on the KindCart website?

No. With the extension installed, supporters can shop the way they normally do and KindCart can appear on participating store sites. Without the extension, they can start from your KindCart page or the KindCart deals page.

How are charities verified?

We match the organization’s EIN and eligibility to public IRS information. To verify ownership of a profile, we use the website, phone number or mailing address available from the latest filing, or review the claim manually when those options are unavailable.

When are checks mailed?

Once a month, when your confirmed balance is at least $25. Smaller balances carry over to a later month.

What address is used?

The check is mailed to the organization’s legal name at the mailing address on its latest IRS filing. KindCart does not ask you to enter a separate payout address.

Can charities see supporter identities?

No. Your dashboard shows aggregate totals, the number of people who have your cause selected and which stores generated confirmed donations. It does not show who bought what.

What happens after a return or cancellation?

If the store or affiliate network cancels or reverses the commission, the related donation is marked Reversed and is excluded from pending and confirmed totals.
