Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
What is CauseMissions? + −
You pick a cause (a nonprofit) and complete a mission — a quick offer from one of our partners. When the mission converts, the partner's payout becomes a donation to your cause.
Does it cost me anything? + −
No. You never pay. Our partners pay for completed missions, and we pass that on as a donation to your chosen cause.
When does my donation actually count? + −
Only after a mission converts and is confirmed by our partner. Clicking out to a mission is not a donation by itself — it counts once it converts.
How does the money actually reach my cause? + −
When a mission converts we report it right away, then it's confirmed and settled with our partner before it can be paid out. That clearing runs on a rolling monthly cycle, so it usually takes a few weeks — sometimes longer — for a completed mission to become funds your cause actually receives.
Can one mission include more than one mission? + −
Yes. Some missions have several steps, and each step is its own mission with its own donation. One click can lead to several missions.
How do I see my impact? + −
Go to the impact page and enter your email. We'll email you a secure link to your missions and donations. The link is valid for 30 minutes.
Do you share my email? + −
We don't sell it, and we don't share it with advertisers. We use it to credit your donations and send your impact link, and we may share supporter details (like your name and email) with the nonprofit you choose to support. Read our Privacy Policy →
I run a nonprofit — can I put missions on my site? + −
Yes. See "For nonprofits" — add one script tag and a snippet, and missions open in a popup right on your site.
I run a nonprofit — how and when do we get paid? + −
You never pay us, and there's nothing to invoice. Completed missions have to be confirmed and settled by our partners before we can pay them out, and that clearing runs on a monthly cycle — so plan on donations arriving a few weeks after they're earned, sometimes longer. We send a payout once a cause has at least $5 in donations ready to go; anything under that simply rolls over to a future payout.
Are you a nonprofit that doesn't want to appear on this site? + −
Nonprofits are listed automatically from public IRS data, but you can opt out. Submit a removal request with an email you control — we'll send you a secure link, and once you confirm, your organization no longer appears anywhere on CauseMissions. Request removal →
