How are the donations generated from my shopping purchases?
Every time you make a shopping purchase through the I Do Foundation, a donation is raised for your selected charitable organization. The I Do Foundation works with Donation Registry, Inc., a donation services company, to affiliate with wedding stores. These stores have agreed to pay a percentage of all purchases made by couples and guests referred through our site, which allows us to donate a portion of the spending at your wedding to charity. This donation to your selected charity is made at absolutely no additional cost to you or your guests.
