As of August 14, 2024, the giving search will return both giving opportunities and causes simultaneously. When you want to donate, the search bar helps to easily discover more ways to give.
What is Changing
We're excited to announce an enhancement to our Giving search functionality. When users select 'Make a Donation', they can now search both giving opportunities and causes simultaneously. This means that by typing a term (for example, cause name) related to either giving opportunities or causes into the search bar, users will see results for both, making the donation process smoother and more efficient. The search will return the same reliable results, but more comprehensive than before.
Why We Are Making This Change
This enhancement offers an improved experience for finding the preferred cause or giving opportunity to donate to, expediting the donation process. Previously, the ‘Make a Donation’ search was only available for giving opportunities, which limited the search criteria for users to find a specific cause, often resulting in "no results" after entering the non-profit/company name. By expanding the search access beyond giving opportunities to include causes, you can now simply search for both and get started with a donation.
What You Need to Do
There’s no action required. The enhancement will be active on August 14th, providing everyone with a more intuitive search experience.
