Giving $1 a month
Can $1 a month really make a difference?
On its own, a dollar is small. That is the point: almost anyone can give it. One million people each giving $1 a month is $12 million a year. Every person who joins makes the total bigger and makes it easier for the next person to say yes.
Why only one dollar?
Because nearly everyone can afford it. 1 Million Hearts is built on small gifts from many people, not large gifts from a few. If you want to give more, you can.
Can I give more than $1, or give just once?
Yes. On the donate page you can choose any whole-dollar amount from $1 to $25,000, every month or one time. For a larger gift, contact us.
Where does my dollar go?
Donations support our charitable programs, operating costs and mission-related activities. A gift you make to a specific fundraiser on the Causes page is counted toward that fundraiser, and its page shows the running total.
How many people have joined so far?
Right now 4 people give every month. The count on the home page goes up each time someone joins.
Taxes and receipts
Is 1 Million Hearts a registered 501(c)(3)?
Yes. 1 Million Hearts is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You receive no goods or services in exchange for a donation, and your receipt says so. For advice about your own taxes, ask a tax professional.
How do I get a receipt or a year-end tax summary?
A receipt is emailed for every gift, including each monthly payment. When you sign in to your account you can see every gift and print a summary for any year.
Your monthly gift
When am I charged?
On the day you start, and then on the same day each month. Your account shows the date of your next payment.
How do I change or cancel my monthly gift?
Sign in to your account with the email address you give with. We email you a sign-in link, so there is no password. From there you can change the amount, update your card or cancel. A cancellation takes effect straight away and you are not charged again.
Is my card information safe?
Payment is taken on Stripe's secure checkout page. 1 Million Hearts never sees or stores your card number.
What is the optional card fee?
Card processing costs 2.9% plus $0.30 per gift. At checkout you can choose to add that amount so the whole gift reaches us. On a $1 gift it is $0.33. It is optional.
What do you do with my information?
Our privacy policy explains what we collect and how it is used.
