Why didn't my donation go through?
In order to ensure the security of donations processed by Network for Good, we have stringent requirements in place to guard against fradulent transactions. Here are some things that may prevent your donation from being processed:

- The security code you entered for your donation is incorrect.
- The expiration date you entered has passed or does not match what is on record with the credit card company.

I only made one donation. Why does it look like there are multiple charges on my card?
In addition to the actual donation, if your first donation attempt was not successful, your account may show an
authorization hold for the initial donation attempt(s). Please note that this is not an actual charge and should drop off of your statement within a few days (the length of time depends on your bank's policy). You may wish to contact your bank directly to have them remove this hold from your account. If the bank needs verification that we will not debit against the hold, we will happily provide it to them upon
your request .
