FAQs

Once Cultivate is added to your Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browser, you will be able to activate the Cultivate extension on our partner sites through a small window that appears in the top right corner of your browser or by clicking the Cultivate icon in your tool bar. This window will tell you how much you can earn in donations from this partner, with a minimum amount of $1.00. When you click the button to activate, a new tab will open to make sure we can track your purchase and provide the corresponding donation to your Cultivate account. From there, all you have to do is shop like you normally would.

Cultivate operates on an affiliate model, meaning we earn a commission from the sales we drive to our partner sites. When shopping with Cultivate, we take a percentage of the affiliate commission we earn from your order and credit it to your Cultivate account so you can pick a charity to donate what you’ve earned. The more you shop with Cultivate, the greater percentage of the affiliate commission you will earn in donations.

While you don’t have to make an account to use the basic features of the Cultivate extension like seeing information about Amazon sellers, you will not be able to earn donation credits and pick charities to send them without an account. You can use your Google, Facebook, or Apple accounts to sign in if you do not want to make an account with Cultivate directly.

On Amazon, Cultivate will provide you with information about the brand and seller of the product you’re viewing such as where the brand is headquartered and where the seller is located. We aim to make your Amazon shopping experience as transparent as possible. Cultivate will also provide you with alternative options for stores selling similar products that are in our partner network so you can earn donation credits. Cultivate purchases earn on average 2% of the order amount in donation credits, which is 4 times what AmazonSmile donates per purchase.

In order to let you know if the website you’re shopping on is in our partner network, we need to be able to check the domain of the websites you visit. We do not store or track any of this data, so your information is not at risk.

No, we rely on our partner merchants to report to us when orders are made which can sometimes take anywhere from 24-48 hours. Once the order has been reported to us, the donation you have earned will appear in your charity wallet and you will receive a notification to make your purchase.
