Influence the Cause is a for-profit company and does not take all direct donations from donors. In some instances ITC may create a landing page and ask for donations in which monies received will go directly into the ITC account and be distributed as stated on the campaign landing page or given to a recipient disclosed to the supporters and general public on our website and/or social media accounts after the campaign has ended.
Donations received on a displayed campaign go directly through Stripe (or any other payment processing portal ITC uses) to the account as directed by the campaign creator or ITC.
ITC takes an agreed upon percentage on each donation and the rest goes directly into the campaign creators account. It is ITC’s goal to direct up to 90% of the net proceeds to the cause, less any 3rd party payment processing fee.
Stripe (or any other payment portal we use) may charge a fee for using their platforms through the ITC platform called “third party charge” and each campaign creator and/or donor agree to their third party charges and their terms of service through the ITC platform.
ITC is not making the perception or ensuring that every donation made by a supporter is tax deductible.
There are no campaign minimums to meet.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR.

Supporters should only contribute payments to a campaign displayed on ITC and we encourage everyone to do their own due diligence on the authenticity of a campaign that is displayed on ITC.
Unfortunately there is no way to 100% guarantee that the authenticity of an Influence the Cause campaign(s) donation page contains accurate or truthful information. As such, donors should use caution and not make donations to any campaigns or people unless they fully understand and trust the cause presented.
Because funds are going directly into the campaign(s) account at the time of a donation or when a campaign ends (less our fee) ITC will not issue any refunds to a donor what-so-ever and you will hold ITC harmless for trying to receive a refund from the campaign you donated to or any damages that may occur from your donation. If you are disputing your donation please contact the Organization directly about your donation. So please do your due diligence before making any donation.
Donations through Stripe (or any other third party payment provider) will always be delivered to the indicated campaign creator account they established through those platforms.
