Yes. Choose Give monthly when you donate. After your first monthly gift you receive a secure link to manage it, where you can change the amount or cancel at any time. You can also write to our team and we will do it for you.

Gifts to an appeal fund that appeal. If an appeal raises more than its goal or cannot proceed, the extra goes to the general fund, which supports the programs and appeals where it is needed most. You can choose a program for a general gift at checkout.

Read the appeal's story and use-of-funds section for the plan and the budget. Receipts and photos are posted in the appeal's updates as the money is spent. If you need more detail about delivery, the beneficiary or the appeal, contact our team before contributing.

Yes. Your payment is completed on a secure, encrypted checkout page run by our payment processor, so your card details are never entered on this website and never stored by the Institute. We guarantee a full refund for up to one year in the rare case of fraud.

Yes. A receipt is sent to the email address you enter at checkout right after your gift. Please keep it for your records. Whether a gift is tax-deductible depends on the country you live in and how you give; our team can tell you what applies to you.

Email support@internationalinstituteforsocialimpact.org with the appeal name, payment date and the email used at checkout. Please do not send card numbers or other sensitive payment details.
