Frequently Asked Questions: GiveInstead App
Where do my charitable contributions go when I donate through the GiveInstead app?
100% of your donation goes to the charity you have selected in the GiveInstead app. Transaction fees are added in the process to accommodate 3rd party processing fees as well as operational overhead for HowGiving.
How do I go about adding my favorite Christian charity to the GiveInstead app?
There is a vetting process for all potential charities. Each charity must meet specific requirements set forth by HowGiving leadership before it can be added (if at all). If you would like to suggest a charity or church, you can begin the request process here >>
Why are only biblically Christian charities and churches included?
We only include vetted Christian causes because we know that, if it is not done for the Lord and for His glory, then it's meaningless ... a puffing up of ourselves and consequently sin, in actuality. We won't facilitate that which we're convicted to be sinful and do not glorify God.
How might I support HowGiving's operations?
Thank you for asking! Feel free to Donate to HowGiving here. Just know that we will take the firstfruit of your donation and give it to our favorite charities, using the remainder for our organizations 'daily bread" to cover overhead and spreading the word about Giving Generously!
