PA Mom-mom — Wed, 04 Dec 2019 00:15:18 GMT

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. QVC/HSN will double your contribution for any participating charity today (Giving Tuesday).

"QVC and HSN want to help you give back to the causes closest to your heart! Just donate to a charity of your choice* on #GivingTuesday and we will match that donation 100%, up to a maximum of $100,000. There is no minimum - no donation is too small! Let's join this global celebration of generosity, all day Tuesday, December 3, 2019. Please note during final payment checkout, your email will be requested. You will receive a receipt via the email you provide. Your credit card statement with charge from "Benevity Online Donations" can also be used as a receipt."

Mine's Williams Syndrome Association!

The hosts were talking about it today, but I think a lot of people don't watch QVC on TV anymore.

I'm happy to see someone post about Giving Tuesday.

Very pleased to see my local animal shelter on Maui on the list. Also a large senior dog rescue in No. Cali. that I follow and support, Lily's Legacy Senior Dog Sanctuary.

And representing PA and the east coat, I love the work that Flying Fur Animal Rescue does. The owner of a small plane flys dogs from over croweded high kill shelter in the south to the northeast for a better chance at a furever home.

Please be part of this wonderful effort and help if you can. I wish I had thousands to give to them all!

@PA Mom-mom Thank you for sharing the link. I was able to make my donation easily and I always like having a matching entity to enhance the impact of a contribution.

So thank you to QVC as well.

I've head the promo for QVC's matching contribution and think it's very misleading. They claim to match contributions up to $100,000. After thinking about the potential outlay by the Q, I've decided it must be $100,000 total for all combined contributions, otherwise there is the potential for them having to match millions of dollars. I know the Q is basically stingy and surely is not going to do that. They infer if you donate $100,000 they'll match it but I don't think so..... It sounds very generous but really isn't that big of a deal for a multi-million dollar corporation with millions of customers.

@Kachina624 You very well may be right, but I'm thinking most of us are just giving 20 to 100 dollars. I could be wrong. I would have donated anyway, but the opportunity of having it doubled is worth going for it. What do I have to lose?

I just typed in giving Tuesday in the search box at the top of the page to get it.

I don’t think QVC is misleading but, I have participated in giving Tuesday on Facebook for years and they do something similar. I think this year it’s up to $7 million matching on their part. Quite a few of the animal charities that I am familiar with will also have anonymous donors who agreed to match up to a certain amount. I would never expect the donor, even a large company, not to put a limit on their total matching amount.

Gosh, I never interpreted it that multiple people could give $100,000 and they would match it! It makes much more sense that they have a matching cap of $100,000 total. I prefer to look at the glass as half full -- it may not be "that big of a deal for a multi-million dollar corporation" to give $100,000, but they didn't have to do it at all and it's $100,000 these charities would not have had otherwise.

It is nice that they offer this, however, they can't seem to run their company very well, I would be hesitant to trust them with my charitable donations! JMO

It was pretty obvious to me that they meant a total match of all combined contributions up to $100,000. That's the way almost all of these matching things work.

And your donation, by the way, would not be directly to QVC. You contribute directly to the charity that you selected through the link provided.
