Yes, the name “givafifth” signifies where one fifth, or 20%, goes back to the organization selected at check-out. This is based on the price of the product(s) purchased and does not include any portion of the shipping or taxes. One other note: when you purchase a gift card, the 20% is only given when the card is redeemed.

For customers in the U.S., the donation portion of your order may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the IRS. Please consult your tax advisor. Your order confirmation email will serve as your receipt.

No. If you make a purchase and return an item, the 20% donation portion of your purchase is non-refundable. But your donation is still tax-deductible.

Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to split donations between multiple organizations. The only way to do this currently is to create multiple orders, one for each organization.

Givafifth has automated as much as possible to make the whole process simple. Therefore, sending an electronic payment from Stripe is the most efficient and accurate way for us to send money — and also the safest, as givafifth does not see and/or maintain any of this information. Our partnership with Stripe ensures your data is secure, private, and encrypted.

Shortly after you register, you’ll receive an email from us that includes a link to set up a Stripe account which takes less than 5 minutes, provided you have your bank routing and account numbers. Simply follow the on-screen instructions. Once complete, you’ll be redirected back to our website.

Yes. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. Givafifth never has access to this information.

Of course. Once you register your organization with us, you’ll receive an email with your fundraiser code. Use this code to promote your fundraiser as soon as you want. Then update your bank information once you’re ready. Just note that once you receive our email to set up your Stripe account, you should do so within seven days since that link does expire.

Donations are processed electronically on the 15th of every month, for donations from the previous month.

If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, payouts will be processed the next business day. You should receive your payment within three to five business days from the date processed.

Note that you do have to have your Stripe account set up in order to get paid.

Yes. When shoppers make a purchase, they can return an item, but their 20% donation is non-refundable.

Please note, in order to keep our products at fair prices, while donating 20% to your favorite organizations, we try to minimize returns. Also note, you can return an item but the 20% donation portion of your purchase is non-refundable.

If you need to make a return, you have 30 days to return an item.

To process your return, just click on "Start a Return" link in
the footer below and submit the form.

Once your request is received and approved, you’ll receive return instructions, and your refund will be issued once our warehouse receives your acceptable returned item.

Givafifth charges a $10 return fee (per item) for items being returned to cover the costs of re-stocking. We do this so that we can keep costs down and give more to those that need it. Please also note, if your returned item is not re-saleable, we cannot honor your return.

Once we receive the item, it takes about 5 — 10 business days for us to open your package to inspect your return, process it into inventory, and complete your refund. Please also note, if your returned item is not re-saleable, we cannot honor your return.

If the refund is being issued to a credit card, depending on your credit card company, it may take an additional 2 — 10 business days after your credit is applied for it to post to your account.

Finally, if you made a purchase using a gift card (to either pay for your entire order or a portion of your order), the amount used will be refunded back on your gift card.

Customers have 30 days to exchange an item. For all exchanges, we charge an exchange fee of $10 per item (to cover our shipping and re-stocking costs) so that we can maintain giving 20% back to organizations.

To start an exchange, click on the link in the footer at the bottom of your screen.

We apologize, but we typically cannot make changes, adjustments, or cancellations to an order after it has been submitted.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently offer this option.

Orders are typically shipped within a week and should arrive 3-5 days from the time of shipment (a shipment tracking notification will be sent to you as soon as the item is picked up by the carrier).

– Street addresses, P.O. boxes (please check box during checkout), and Military APO/FPO addresses

Yes. Gift cards expire 5 years from date of purchase.

No. Taxes are charged only at time of redemption.

20% of gift card purchases are donated at time of redemption.

Givafifth charges sales tax based on the subtotal of your order (order amount before shipping minus your 20% donation). In other words, if you order 2 baseball caps at $20 each ($40 total), you will be charged sales tax on $32, with $8 being the donation portion. The percentage of sales tax charged (and whether or not sales tax is charged on shipping) varies based upon where you live.

Givafifth encourages group gifting as it is a great way to give back to an organization, while providing a great product to your group. If you’d like to place a bulk or group order (12 or more units of the same style and color), please contact support@givafifth.com.

We have a selection of products that can be co-branded with your company, organization, or group name/logo. If you’d like to get some information to make this happen, please email us at customerservice@givafifth.com, and we can walk you through our options.
