Once you have reached your six month anniversary with Wonderful, you become eligible to participate in Wonderful Giving. Wonderful Giving accepts requests for grants and matching gifts year round. While you can make your donation at any time during the year, we suggest that you give early in the year when many groups receive fewer donations. Funds do not carry over from year to year. Your available funds are reset on January first every year.

When you request a Grant, you are directing Wonderful Giving’s charitable dollars to the nonprofit of your choice. You do not need to make a personal donation. You can give up to 3 grants a year and should make sure to use up your total available funds. When you request a Matching Gift, you must first make a personal contribution to an eligible organization (i.e. charity or nonprofit) and submit proof of your donation online at wonderfulgiving.com. Then Wonderful Giving will match the amount you donated dollar for dollar, up to your total available matching funds. At this time only U.S. based employees are eligible for the Matching Gifts Program.

When you click on the Grants Program page you can search by category to help you identify an organization that would be meaningful to you. Simply use the drop-down menu to choose the type of cause you would like to contribute to (e.g. animals, health, education) and the search function will generate charities in your community that have been vetted for donations. You can also contact info@wonderfulgiving.com for assistance.

The search function accesses the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) database of nonprofits. First, do a diligent search for your organization. Search by name/keywords and state OR Tax ID number. You do not need a Tax ID number to search. If your organization is not listed, refine your search using the drop down menu under "Organization/School Name" and/or add the city. If your organization still does not show up, click on the blue "nominate an organization" link. At this time you will need to have the Tax ID number and contact information to complete your nomination. Please note that you can only nominate U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organizations. You will receive an email once your organization has been reviewed.

The default search looks for an exact match for a school name, but schools often have shortened names or abbreviate words in their listings (e.g. ELEM, ES or EL for Elementary School). With a diligent search every school should come up with a link. If it does not show up, shorten the name to the keywords and make sure you use the drop down menu to say all of the words instead of exact match.
If it comes up with a link that says "Select", it means you are not the first person to donate to it and it has already been vetted.
If you get a nominate link for a school you will notice it lists a NCES District/School ID: number right under the address. If you copy that number, you can paste it in the Tax ID section on the nomination form. You will be notified by email when your nomination has been vetted.
If your organization was not approved, it did not meet the Giving Guidelines for eligible organizations. Or, it is an organization that has failed to provide required information or to cash checks in a timely manner. You will be notified by email when your nomination has been vetted.

You cannot receive any goods or services in exchange for Wonderful Giving funds. Goods or services include: event tickets, auction prizes, raffle tickets, memberships that include any benefits, tuition payments, tangible items or services. In addition funds cannot be matched if you received anything for your original donation. Some organizations (such as environmental organizations) will give you a membership that does not include any benefits, and this is acceptable. If you receive something you didn’t expect or have questions on this policy, contact info@rollgiving.com. Deliberate violation of this policy may result in exclusion from participation in the Wonderful Giving Program.

No. However, the earlier in the year you request your donation and the more complete information you provide about the charity—address, website, tax ID number—the faster it can be processed.

No, our internal control system no longer allows employees to hand deliver their checks. However, at the time you register your request, you can print a donation certificate to present to your organization so they are aware of your gift. That certificate can also be accessed by clicking on the donation's description in your history.
