FAQ

Where does my donation go?

All donations go to Plastic Fischer— a German organization—via the Dollar Donation Club non-profit, “Dollar Donation Club Fund.”

How much of my donation goes to the cause?

100% of your donation will go to Plastic Fischer, however Visa & Mastercard do charge a card processing fee that we are currently unable to avoid and invite donors to cover.

How do I know if this will actually make an impact?

Our team of world renowned scientists, innovators and researchers put a lot of time into vetting organizations to ensure every dollar makes a measurable and verifiable impact. You will be able to verify what happened with your donation on your Donation Tracker--where you can follow progress updates to see your donation’s impact in action.

Does Dollar Donation Club take a fee?

No way dude! If you think we’re doing a good job, you can consider giving us a micro-tip on top of your donation. We’ll still love you even if you don’t. Larger donors and brand donors help us cover operating costs with a 10% administrative fee on their donations.

Can I trust Plastic Fischer?

We wouldn’t run this campaign if we weren’t certain. Our team of world renowned vetters scored them with an 91% on our Integrated Impact Score, which is a thorough, 6-week process to ensure that every dollar is used effectively and as advertised. Read the report here.
