Contact the organization you gave to
Who to ask about a receipt, a refund or how your donation was used.
For anything about a receipt, a refund, or how your donation was used, the organization you gave to is who to ask — DonorCARE runs the platform they use, but doesn’t hold their money or make those decisions.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”No account needed.
-
Open the organization’s own site — the one you gave through — and look for Contact Us. Your receipt and the appeal’s page both link back to it.

-
Fill in Name, Email, a Category — General Inquiry, Donation, Receipt, Ceremony, Refund, Technical or Other — a Subject, and your Message.
-
Select Submit Ticket. Confirmation: you’ll get a reference number — keep it in case you need to follow up. Most organizations say they typically respond within 2 business days.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”| What you see | What it means | What to do |
