Do I need a username and password?
No. If your group's name is displayed in the Start Here tab before you click on an advertiser's link, your group will automatically receive the commission offered when you complete a purchase.
My group doesn't appear in your database.
listandgive.com is a free service for our non-profit partners. If you think your group would benefit from this service please click here.
When does my group get paid?
listandgive.com pays out commissions monthly to nonprofit partners when their total commissions (received from advertisers) exceed $100.00.
listandgive.com
gets paid by advertisers according to the advertiser's payment policy.
Normally, there is a waiting period beyond the advertiser's return policy before the advertiser pays listandgive.com.
Example: you buy a televison from an advertiser.
If you return the television during the advertiser's 30 day return period, no commission is paid to your group.
If you keep the television, the advertiser pays listandgive.com after the 30 day return period, then listandgive.com pays your group either by check or direct deposit.
Every advertiser has a different policy so commission payments can be 30 to 120 days
after the sale. See Terms of Service for full details.
Who is tracking my information?
When you click on an advertiser link in the list, a string of information identifying the group you are shopping for is transmitted to the advertiser. This information is tracked by third parties who have agreements to perform this service for the advertiser. This is how we are able to credit your group with donations earned by purchases you make. No personal information regarding you, your credit card or the items you purchased are known to listandgive.com or the group on whose behalf you are shopping.
Cookies, chocolate chip and otherwise.
Please don't clear the cookies from your browser until you complete your shopping.
A cookie is a string of information stored in your web browser, placed electronically when you visit a website.
In online shopping, cookies are very important. Most online shopping sites place a cookie that lasts from one week to ninety days.
If you make a purchase while the cookie is still "alive" it will remember your last visit to the website and your shopping session may still be available.
So, if you start your online shopping at listangive.com and your shopping is interrupted by a phone call from a long lost friend, you can come back later, complete your shopping and your group will still get credit for your purchase.
