What is Network for Good?
Network for Good is a completely nonprofit Web site that makes it easier and more convenient than ever for people to learn more about the causes they care about and to take action to help: whether by signing up to volunteer or by making a donation directly online. Network for Good charges no fees or commissions and contains no advertising. The AOL Foundation created the site, and the information and services provided are from partners from across the nonprofit community. Return

How do I make a donation online?
Once you locate an organization that you'd like to give to, click the "Donate Now" button. Simply enter the information requested, including your name, address, and credit card information. Your donation will be sent to the nonprofit organization. Return

Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes. Donations made through Network for Good are 100% tax deductible because every charity in our database qualifies under the IRS rules for tax deductions. When you make a donation, be sure to save and/or print the confirmation e-mail you receive from Network for Good for your tax records. If you have any questions, however, as always, please consult a tax professional. Return

How does the money get to the organization of my choice?
Your contribution will be distributed by UniTEQ, a nonprofit, tax exempt organization. UniTEQ is working in collaboration with the AOL Foundation to process donations made through the Network for Good Giving System. First, they will process your donation through your credit card company. Once the payment has been approved, they will notify the charity that a donation has been designated for them. If that charity has provided its electronic funds transfer (EFT) information to Network for Good, your donation will be electronically transmitted through our secure servers. If not, they will mail a check directly to the charity. Network for Good will notify you by e-mail when your payment is approved by the credit card company and again when the funds have been transferred, generally within two weeks of your contribution. Return

Is the transaction secure?
Network for Good uses industry-leading Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to keep your personal information as secure as possible. Network for Good helps to protect your information by working with partners that provide a secure and safe environment for credit card donations.
