Common questions
Does GiftHappiness take a percentage of the donation or any money?
No. GiftHappiness does not take fees or charges. The whole amount is intended to be credited directly to the charity account, minus bank, financial, or transaction fees.
How are the charities selected?
Charities are selected by individuals associated with GiftHappiness and must pass a strict set of criteria without exception.
What prevents favoritism or only one charity receiving all the money?
The criteria require no relationship with any member of GiftHappiness, and charities and amounts received are visible on the website for anyone to see.
Can I suggest my own charity for my celebration page?
Not currently. You can still collect contributions and give them directly to that charity. The goal is to gift happiness, whether through GiftHappiness or directly.
Do I get a tax benefit on my contribution?
That depends on the charity you support. Charities registered under Section 80G can issue a receipt you can claim against — the charity issues it directly, not GiftHappiness. Check the charity's page for its registration details.
What payment modes are accepted?
UPI, net banking, and major cards. We'll confirm the payment details with you when you contribute.
Can I get a refund after making a donation?
No. Once the amount is debited, it cannot be refunded.
