Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Are there any restrictions on which donations are doubled?

Credit card, PayPal, account credit, and gift card donations to live projects are eligible for this match. Donations via check and donor-advised fund (DAF) will not be doubled due to processing time. Previous donations placed before the match offer’s start date will not be doubled. Please note, the match offer is not active for donations during Friends and Family Pre-Funding (the period when our team is reviewing projects).

Q: How can I edit my posted project?

If your project has not received any donations, you can make any edits by returning your project to draft status. You can do this by heading over to the Projects section of your account and clicking on the "Return project to draft" button underneath your project title. Once your project is in draft status, you can make any edits and resubmit it.  Then, it will be re-screened by our team and re-posted if eligible. Read more about editing your project.
