We track donations made via each store and charge the merchant's credit card on file when $50 in donations is accrued or 30 days has passed, whichever happens first.
Those donations are disbursed to Fashion Makes Change at Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors within the first 10 days of the following month (so donations made in January will be sent to the nonprofits by February 10th). Fashion Makes Change donates all net proceeds to direct to programming of women’s empowerment.
The Pledgeling Foundation support site (link) has answers to many questions about how funds flow to nonprofit charitable organizations.
