Donation FAQ's
How does your "Open a BTBYBF Account" work, and does it track donations and purchases?
Our BTBYBF account is a wonderful tool for repeat donors or purchasers. Opening an account is free and simple, requiring only an email or phone number, and some basic information such as your name.
Logging in to your account is a breeze, where a secure message will be sent to the contact means that are on file and will allow you to log in. Visit the Accounts page located at the top-right on desktop, or by opening the hamburger menu via mobile access.
After logging in, you will see two menu options, "Orders & Profile."
- Under "Orders" you will see a reflection of donations and purchases made with all pertinent information associated to that transaction. You can download any single or batch donation or purchase data from this page.
- Under "Profile" you will see your submitted personal information and any store credit you might have. In this location you can also update your account info.
Where does my money actually go?
To better answer, we have broken this question down into the two most common questions associated with where donor funds are actually used:
- What percentage goes to the cause vs. admin costs? This is one of the most misunderstood topics in fundraising. At BTBYBF our goal is ranged-split: 65–85% → programs & our cause, & 15–35% → admin & fundraising costs
- Is my donation funding programs directly? While you certainly have the right to donate funds towards one of our specific causes, if this cause is not mentioned our general donations cover the current needs of the nonprofit and those allocated funds are approved by our Board of Directors after our staff presents our calendarized budget and cost of business.
Does my donation really have an impact?
While it is easy enough to state that every penny counts, we can assure you it in fact any amount you graciously donate assist active, local youth in our community, and the means by which we reach them. Be it $5, $25, $50, or $100 donations to larger donations, our donor funds are allocated in such ways that focus first on current youth needs and the programs associated with those needs, as well as associated administrative costs.
Surplus funding then goes through a rigorous process of applying funds to targeting goals or upcoming fundraiser / charity events in our calendarized budget, which in many ways is a living organism that we may give back to the community in the best manner possible.Small donations or large donations are allocated in such ways that focus first on current youth needs and the programs associated with them, as well as associated administrative costs.
