Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Any and all information you provide the Site is subject to our Privacy Policy which governs our collection and use of your information. For additional information, please refer to the Privacy Policy.


Contributions to Nonprofits
Eligible Transactions & Contributions to Your Nonprofit Project: To generate an eligible transaction through online shopping, you must initiate your shopping at the SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK Site, or through an email, text link, or other SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK link, and you must complete your purchase during the same session. If you return an item from an eligible purchase, it will be deducted from your total giving funds. Only individuals (members or non-members) may earn rewards to direct to Nonprofit Projects from their shopping on SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK.


SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK participates in agreements with various third parties (“Shopping Partners”) that pay commissions to us on eligible transactions including, but not limited to, online shopping. If you complete an eligible transaction through one of our Shopping Partners, either through the Site, or through SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK links, advertisements, QR codes, or other promotions, our Shopping Partners are obligated to pay us a commission. Upon receipt of payment(s) from our Shopping Partner(s) for your eligible transaction, SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK will contribute a portion of the funds received to the Nonprofit project(s) or cause(s) you have selected, or to our Community Pot. Contributions that are directed from member giving accounts or from non-members will accrue based upon user choices, but will only be distributed to the Nonprofit(s) upon receipt of funds for the eligible transaction from our Shopping Partners. The Site is not responsible for any contribution until we have received payment from our Shopping Partners for your eligible transaction. Eligible funds are distributed to Nonprofits on a quarterly basis. Eligible transactions will typically post to your account or the Site within 24 hours, however payment from the Shopping partner may take up to 90 days, although this time varies and may be effected by things outside of SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK’s control. The amount of the eligible transaction may also be affected by returns, charges, variable commission rates and changes to our terms, which may change without prior notice. SOCIAL GOOD NETWORK pays nonprofits on a quarterly basis, based upon payments received from Shopping Partners.


The Community Pot accrues giving funds from eligible transactions that may not be individually tracked. For example, eligible transactions on Amazon.com are directed to The Community Pot. All unidentified transactions are also directed to The Community Pot. Social Good Network distributes The Community Pot quarterly to nonprofit projects and/or causes at its sole discretion.


Although the Site will make their best effort to ensure that all transactions are correctly tracked and credited, please contact us if you believe that you have completed an eligible transaction that has not been credited. Members accrue credit for eligible transactions, and may determine the participating nonprofit that the Site directs a portion of our Shopping Partner commission to, except in instances that our Shopping Partner does not enable us to track eligible transactions by individual, in which case the appropriate eligible transaction will be directed to the Community Pot. However, credits to a member account for anything other than a cash donation from the member have no actual cash value.


Individual Member Giving Accounts
When you join the Site you establish a personal giving account to manage and direct giving to the nonprofit projects and/or causes of your choice. When you complete an eligible transaction, upon receipt of verification of the transaction from our Shopping Partners, the Site will apply a credit to your account representing the amount of money you may direct to nonprofits, and/or credit the Community Pot for transactions that we cannot be credited to individual members (Amazon transactions). Typically, these credits will appear in your giving account within 24 hours of your transaction. These amounts do not have a cash value and are meant to represent the amounts the Site gives to our nonprofit partners based upon your direction. Members may not access or withdraw these credits or claim them as assets. In the event any giving account is inactive for a period of twelve (12) months, the Site may close the account and distribute any credits to the Community Pot or any other nonprofit partner. Funds directed from your giving account are not tax deductible. Only direct donations may be tax deductible. Directed funds are paid to nonprofits on a quarterly basis as described above, based upon the payments we receive from shopping partners.


Direct Donations & Fees
Social Good Network does not currently accept direct donations on behalf of the nonprofits on the Site. Social Good Network is working to add this option. Please check back to access this feature in the coming months.
