A nonprofit giving platform
ValuesCart lets you give your favorite charity the dollars they ask for — or the actual stuff they need, shipped straight to their door. Real donations. Real deliveries. Real impact you can track.
Built by a nonprofit, for nonprofits — so more of every gift becomes good.
Two ways to give
Most platforms move money. ValuesCart moves money and the real-world supplies charities run on.
Every charity on ValuesCart shows you exactly what they need most — dog food, diapers, blankets, school supplies. Pick an item, and it ships directly to the charity.
Prefer to give cash? Donate in a couple of clicks, right from the charity's page — with the same simplicity you'd expect from the best donation platforms.
Why we're different
ValuesCart isn't a payments company with a heart-shaped logo. We're a nonprofit organization ourselves — which means the platform exists to maximize what reaches charities, not what reaches shareholders.
And because gifts flow through a nonprofit, we're building toward something no for-profit platform can offer: tax-deductible giving on everything you give through ValuesCart Coming Soon
How it works
Pick a charity you love — an animal shelter, a house of worship, a classroom, a relief effort — and open their ValuesCart page.
Buy something from their needs list and it ships straight to them, or make a cash donation. Either way, it takes about a minute.
Get delivery-tracking updates as your gift travels to the charity's door. You didn't just donate — you sent Kaboodle a bone.
Find your cause
Every cause below connects you to real organizations with real needs lists.
Why ValuesCart
A dollar figure on a receipt is nice. A pallet of kibble arriving at the shelter on Tuesday is unforgettable. In-kind giving makes your impact something you can point at.
ValuesCart is the only giving platform that sends you delivery-tracking updates for the stuff you give — so generosity comes with a tracking number.
As a nonprofit platform, our pricing is built so organizations of every size can start completely free — and our paid tiers exist to fund the mission, not a margin.
So do we. ValuesCart grew from the community AmazonSmile left behind in 2023 — and for qualifying organizations, our VC Smile program brings percentage-of-purchase giving back.
Questions
No. You pay the normal price for the item you choose — nothing extra. The difference is that instead of a check, the charity receives exactly what they said they needed, shipped to their door.
Items ship directly to the organization's address, never through a middleman warehouse — and you receive delivery-tracking updates from the moment you give until the moment it arrives.
Cash donations you make to a registered 501(c)(3) are deductible per IRS rules, and the charity issues your receipt. Because ValuesCart is itself a nonprofit, we're also building toward tax-deductible treatment for giving made through the platform — including in-kind gifts. Watch for the "coming soon" features on this page.
Nothing. Supporters never pay a fee to give through ValuesCart. Charities choose a plan (starting at free) that fits their size.
International deployment of in-kind gifts is in development — soon you'll be able to send needed supplies to qualifying organizations abroad. Sign up with your cause above and we'll let you know when it's live.
Please do! Use the "Refer a Charity" link below or email [email protected] — starting is free for every organization.
