Questions about giving
Which fund should I choose?
The General Fund supports kids, first responders, and veterans across our work. Choose the HAWKE Fund to support its youth baseball mission, or After the 214 to support veterans and their families. Each fund has its own donation button above. Explore all three funds.
Where do I enter my gift amount?
Select your fund’s donation button. It opens PayPal in a new tab, where you enter the amount and complete your gift. Check the selected fund and amount before submitting your donation.
Can I make a one-time or recurring gift?
PayPal starts with One-Time selected. Monthly and Yearly options are also available. Choose the frequency you intend and review it along with your gift amount before confirming your donation.
What if I leave checkout without donating?
Use PayPal’s cancel-and-return link to come back to our website. You can choose a fund again whenever you are ready. If you are unsure whether a gift went through, check your PayPal receipt before submitting another payment.
How do I confirm that my payment went through?
Use your PayPal payment receipt to confirm the transaction. A visit to a thank-you page alone does not establish that a payment succeeded. If you are unsure, check for a receipt before trying again.
Who can help with a receipt or an incorrect gift?
Email finn@finndawgs.com with questions about an acknowledgment, a duplicate or incorrect gift, or a cancellation or refund. Do not send your full payment-card or account credentials. See our Terms of Use for more information.
Can I donate cards, collectibles, or a vehicle instead?
Yes. Read our collection donation instructions for mailing, drop-offs, and pickup by appointment, or learn about donating a vehicle. Contact us to confirm arrangements before delivering property in person.
