If you need to sign up for multiple team member profiles on behalf of others (most often in the case of a parent needing to sign up for multiple children), you'll notice that you can only use a single email address to sign up for one team member profile. There are two ways around this.

1. Using multiple email addresses

If you have access to multiple email addresses (such as work and personal, or parent 1 and parent 2, etc.) this can be a simple option for signing up on behalf of multiple team members.

2. Using the same email address

To sign up for multiple team member profiles using the same email, try this trick!

• First profile – use your email address as normal, ie. example@gmail.com

• Second profile – add "+1" before the @ symbol, ie. example+1@gmail.com

• Third profile – add "+2" before the @ symbol, ie. example+2@gmail.com

Emails sent to example+1@gmail.com and example+2@gmail.com will all go to the parent email address of example@gmail.com.

You can also use words instead of numbers after the "+". For example, example+henry@gmail.com and example+jen@gmail.com will both forward emails to example@gmail.com.

Please note that this works for Gmail addresses but may not work with other email providers. Test at your own discretion!

Using this "+1" trick allows you to register the same email address multiple times, as our system recognizes them as separate logins.

Corporate Match is made easy when you finalize payment for your donation. Our upgraded match tool simplifies and maximizes matching gift opportunities by helping donors find employer match-programs quickly.

1. Increases Fundraising Without Additional Ask

• Matching gifts double or even triple donations at no extra cost to donors, which boosts total revenue to the school without asking for more money from the supporter.

2. Employer Matching Made Simple

• Provides a searchable database of thousands of employers’ matching gift programs, so donors can quickly check eligibility during the donation process.

3. Automated Follow-Up

• Sends personalized reminders to donors after they give, guiding them step-by-step through the matching process, so fewer opportunities are missed.

4. Educates Donors

• Many donors don’t know their employer offers matching gifts—this tool educates them in real time, removing confusion.

5. Saves Admin Time

• Automates the process that would otherwise take hours of manual research and outreach for parents, PTA's and other school donors.

Yes, with our state-of-the-art platform, there are more ways to donate – Simply select your payment method of choice at checkout. Offering these multiple payment options is valuable for schools because it removes barriers to giving and meets donors where they are. Here’s why this feature matters:

1. Increases Donor Convenience

• Donors can give using their preferred method (credit/debit cards, digital wallets like Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Apple Pay), making the process faster and easier.

2. Boosts Conversion Rates

• If a donor only encounters a payment method they don’t use, they may abandon the gift. Offering multiple options reduces friction and drop-offs.

3. Appeals to Younger Donors

• Many younger supporters prefer mobile-first payment methods like Venmo or Cash App. Including these keeps your organization relevant and donor-friendly.

4. Supports Larger Gifts

• Some large-gift donors prefer Donor Advised Funds or ACH, while others use credit cards for rewards points. Flexibility can lead to higher donation amounts.

5. Enhances Accessibility for All Donors

• By providing diverse payment options, you make giving inclusive for all demographics—no one feels left out because their preferred method isn’t available.

6. Builds Trust

• A wide range of payment choices signals modern, secure, and donor-centric operations, which increases confidence for donors.

To make all of this possible, you’ll notice an optional tipping feature during checkout. These voluntary tips help cover technology and support costs—keeping the platform free from additional fees when enabled.

Tips never reduce your donation and can be changed or set to zero at any time.

Most donors appreciate the chance to give that little extra boost towards our non-profit mission—but if you’d rather, schools can disable tipping and instead pay a platform fee from the total raised.
