Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good cause for iGive?
Anyone that wants to earn money and can cash a check.
But seriously, fraternities, sororities, religious groups, sports teams.
What is the iGive Button and why does the shopper (or iGive care) about it?
The iGive Button is a browser add-on. It operates behind the scenes and helps the member connect seamlessly with participating iGive Stores.
It doesn't impact how the browser functions for the user, it simply alerts the member when they are at a store that works with iGive by placing a small green triangle in the corner of that web page. Occasionally, members might see a drop down that would ask them to confirm that they want the purchase to support their cause.
With more than 1800 stores, it's hard for the shoppers to know ALL of the different retailers that would offer a donation to their cause, the iGive Button means you don't have to remember. Also, it eliminates the step of logging in before you shop. Finally, the green triangle contains all the information about coupons and/or exceptions for that specific store without visiting the iGive website.
iGive knows that shoppers are more likely to shop and make donations the fewer steps it takes, and the iGive Button does just that.
Stores will only give a donation if the shopper goes through iGive, so having the iGive Button helps to ensure that the shoppers never miss the opportunity to support their cause.
What if a cause is already a member of iGive?
Right now, the Ambassadors are focusing on new causes. This may change in the future.
