Give to several campaigns at once
If you’re filling in more than one appeal at the same time, you can pay for all of them together in a single payment instead of checking out separately for each — but this needs a DonorCARE account.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Sign in to DonorCARE, or create an account — combining appeals into one payment isn’t available to guests.
- Have started filling in your selections on at least two appeals that let you choose several items (for example, several dedications in one appeal). Each one is saved automatically as its own cart as you go.
-
Fill in your selections on each appeal as normal. On an appeal that lets you choose multiple items, your choices are saved automatically as you type — there’s no separate button to press to save them.
-
Open My Saved Carts to see everything you’ve started across appeals.
-
Select Checkout All once you have at least two appeals ready. If your appeals use different payment setups, you’ll instead see them split into separate groups, each with its own Checkout button.
-
Sign in if you’re asked to. Combining carts into one payment requires an account, so DonorCARE will prompt you to sign in first.
-
Review Your Selections, fill in Your Information, and choose a payment method, the same as any other donation.
-
Select Pay Now. You pay once for every appeal in that group, instead of paying for each one separately.
This combines your payment only, not your receipts — you’ll still get a separate receipt by email for each appeal, exactly as if you had paid for them one at a time.
If something goes wrong
Section titled “If something goes wrong”| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No Checkout All button on My Saved Carts | You need at least two saved selections before this option appears | Add a second appeal, or use that appeal’s own Donate button to pay for just one |
| “Your carts are split across separate checkout groups because some campaigns use different payment configurations” | The appeals you selected can’t be combined into a single payment | Pay for each group separately using its own Checkout button — you still avoid paying twice within the same group |
| “Sign in to checkout” | Combining appeals into one payment requires an account | Sign in, or create a free account, then return to My Saved Carts |
