💛 FAQ — For Donors

Giving made easy (and fun). Learn how to donate, fundraise, and see your impact on March 3, 2026.

Hey there, big-hearted human!

You’re the reason CV Giving Day exists. This page has everything you need to make your gift count — from how to give, to where your dollars go, to how your generosity powers hundreds of local causes across the Coachella Valley.

💳 How do I give?

It’s easy! Just click Give Now at the top of this page, search for your favorite local cause, and hit donate. Every dollar counts — whether it’s your morning latte budget or your golf-trip winnings.

⏰ Does it have to be on March 3 only?

Nope! You can jump in early. Early Giving opens February 3, and every gift through March 3 counts toward totals and prizes.

We call that a win-win — early action, lasting impact.

📍 Where does my donation actually go?

Straight to the nonprofit you choose. Your full donation — minus standard credit-card & admin fees — goes directly to that organization.

💡 Pro tip: When you check out, you’ll see an option to cover the small processing fees.

If you do, 100% of your gift goes straight to the nonprofit’s mission — no middlemen, no surprises.

Prize funds from our Impact Partners just make it even sweeter.

🧾 Are my donations tax-deductible?

Yes! All donations are processed through Desert Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

You’ll receive your official tax-deductible receipt instantly by email from Desert Community Foundation, sent out from the Mightycause platform (sender email will show 'support@mightycause.com').

(Keep it handy for tax season — or frame it. We’ve seen it happen.)

⚡ What’s all this talk about “Power Hours” and “Prize Pools”?

They’re bonus boosts funded by our Impact Partners — think surprise matches, hourly challenges, and community prizes that turn your donation into double the good.

🤝 Can I start my own fundraiser?

Absolutely! Click Start a Peer-to-Peer Fundraiser and create your page in minutes. Invite friends, family, coworkers — anyone who loves your cause as much as you do. (Bragging rights included.)

🏆 How do I see results?

Check out the Leaderboards and Prize Winners links to watch the friendly competition unfold. It’s the Valley at its most generous — and most fun.
