CoMoGives’ primary goal is to facilitate year-end giving to a cross-section of Columbia/Boone County and other central Missouri community nonprofit organizations.
Donors can select one, two, ten, or more organizations and make a single donation with an easy credit card transaction at the secure www.comogives.com website December 1 - December 31, 2024.
How does CoMoGives work?
Donors visit comogives.com and use the donate button at the top of the main website to browse for organizations by cause category or find a specific organization to make a gift. Donors can also connect to the site with a direct link sent to them by participating organizations via email or shared on social media. Donors looking to donate to a new organization or unsure who to select can also search by the causes they love most.
Donors can give online beginning Sunday, December 1st through Tuesday, December 31st at 11:59:59 p.m. CT.
CoMoGives is powered by The Community Foundation of Central Missouri, one of over 850 foundations in the United States, acting as a savings account host and grant maker for donors, nonprofit organizations, and communities in central Missouri. Click here to learn more.
Mightycause is the technology platform that powers CoMoGives. It is a mission-driven, employee-owned business that has served the nonprofit community by helping them with online fundraising and donor engagement since 2006. Mightycause has supported over 150,000 causes and has been the technology partner for hundreds of community-led Giving Days.
Donations made via the CoMoGives platform are complete and final charitable gifts to Mightycause Charitable Foundation. The Mightycause Charitable Foundation is a tax-exempt public charity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code which maintains a donor-advised fund. A donor-advised fund (“DAF”) is defined by Congress as a public charity that receives completed gifts from donors while allowing them the privilege of advising on the distribution of their grant to other charities and charitable causes. Once donations are received and processed by the Mightycause Charitable Foundation, they are disbursed directly to the receiving organizations.
I ran into a technical issue on the platform and need help. How do I contact Mightycause directly?
A Mightycause support team member is happy to help with questions about using the CoMoGives website or direct you to the correct Community Foundation of Central Missouri team member.
The Mightycause support team is available year-round, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. ET.
What if my preferred organization is not listed on CoMoGives.com?
It is up to the organizations whether or not they choose to participate. If you don't see your favorite organization listed, we encourage you to contact them directly to make sure they are aware of CoMoGives. Organizations register to participate annually at CoMoGives.com.
How will I be able to search for and donate to a participating organization?
Donors can search for an organization by name, cause type, and location on the search page here.
Do I need to create an account with Mightycause to donate or fundraise?
For donating, no. You can complete your donation as a guest. However, we encourage you to create an account to easily access your donation history and receipts!
For fundraising, yes. Fundraisers will need to create an account in order to create an individual fundraising page. If a user visits an organization page on CoMoGives.com without being logged in first and clicks the "Fundraise" button, the first screen they are taken to is a log-in/sign-up screen. In order to have a fundraising page, it needs to be linked to a user account in the Mightycause platform.
How do I create an account on Mightycause?
Visit CoMoGives.com and click on the "Login" button at the top-right hand corner. From there, provide your preferred email address and follow the prompts to sign up.
How do I access my donation receipts?
Accessing Receipts
You will be emailed a receipt for each donation you make, but Mightycause also stores printer-friendly receipts for each donation in your user account. To find a receipt for a past donation, log into your user account and click on your name in the upper right corner. A dropdown menu will appear. Select "Donation history" to be taken to the donation history portion of your user account.
If you select "Donation history" from the dropdown menu, you will automatically be taken to your "Donation History" tab within your user account. If you have created recurring monthly donations you will see a "Recurring Donations" tab as well. Be sure you are on the “Donation History” tab in order to view your donation history.
To the right of each donation is a menu icon (the three dots). Click here to then select "Resend receipt." Once you click on it, you can resend your receipt to your email.
If you have any questions about your receipt or need assistance accessing any of these items, please contact the Mightycause support team at support@mightycause.com or call or 202.800.1618.
The minimum donation on CoMoGives.com is $10.
How much of my donation will go to the organization?
Mightycause retains a 3% campaign management fee from all donations.
Please note that the Community Foundation of Central Missouri does not receive any of these fees and that 100% of donations are tax-deductible for the donor.
Donors may opt to cover the Mightycause fees before completing their transaction, allowing 100% of their intended donation to be received by the nonprofit.
Can I give to more than one organization?
Yes! For each transaction, you can select up to 300 organizations in your donation cart. Only organizations that have registered to participate may receive gifts through CoMoGives.com.
Can I make donations via a mobile device?
Yes! Simply visit www.CoMoGives.com on your mobile device to make a gift.
Yes! The recurring donation feature allows donors to make automated online donations to an organization on a regular basis. You can set this up during your payment process. This is a great way to support Central Missouri organizations by guaranteeing financial support to them every month while also respecting your personal budget.
How will I get a tax receipt for my donations?
Upon checkout, you will receive an immediate thank you and receipt for your charitable contribution(s) via email, which you should print out for your tax purposes.
Why didn’t I receive an email receipt for my donation?
Mightycause automatically sends an email receipt when you make a donation, but there are several reasons why you may not see it in your inbox. Your email provider may have sent it to your junk mail folder, so be sure to check there. Gmail may have routed your receipt to your “Purchases” tab, so you should check there if you’re a Gmail user. If you were donating as a guest, a typo in your email address could cause you to not receive your receipt. We’re happy to resend your receipt — just email Mightycause at support@mightycause.com from the email address you used to complete your donation and we’ll make sure you get it.
Why is there a charge from “Mightycause” on my Credit Card?
Mightycause is an online fundraising platform used by nonprofit organizations and individuals to raise money for charitable causes. When you see a charge on your credit card for “*MCF*,” this is because you’ve made a donation to a charitable cause on Mightycause using that card.
When looking at your CC statement, "*MCF*" will be followed by the first six letters of the specific organization/fundraiser you donated, "*MCF*NonprofitName*"
You can find out what your donation was for and download a copy of your receipt by logging into your account and accessing your donation history on Mightycause.
Our friendly support staff is also happy to look up your donation and clarify to what fundraiser or nonprofit it was made. You can email our customer support team at support@mightycause.com or call 202.800.1618. The Mightycause support team is available year-round, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
Please have the date of the transaction and the email address used to make the donation ready so that the MIghtycause support team can search for your donation.
Can I get a refund for a donation I made?
Mightycause enforces a no-refunds policy, mainly due to the immediacy of tax benefits. If you have a special circumstance, you can contact Mightycause at support@mightycause.com or 202.800.1618 to discuss it with one of Customer Support team members. The Mightycause support team is available year-round, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
