How does the Giving category work?

Giving back is one of the most meaningful habits a family can build together, and Greenlight makes it easy to find and donate to a nonprofit through the app. The Giving category lets you set aside funds specifically for charitable donations and browse verified charities to support.

How do I add money to my Giving account?

You can move money into the Giving account at any time from the Greenlight app.

1. Tap on the "Giving" tile on the dashboard
2. Tap "Move $ In"
3. Select or enter the amount you'd like to add, then tap "Move"

Tip: If your "Giving" balance doesn't fully cover a donation, the remainder can be pulled from your "Spend Anywhere" balance automatically.

How do I make a donation using my Greenlight card?

Donations are made through Charity Navigator, a nonprofit that independently rates and evaluates charities to help you give with confidence. When you select a charity, you'll be taken to Charitynavigator.org to complete your transaction.

Important: You must use your Greenlight card as the payment method at checkout. This ensures the donation amount is pulled from your Giving balance!

1. Tap on the "Giving" tile on the dashboard
2. Browse the charitable categories listed or tap the Search icon to find a specific charity
3. Select a charity — you'll be taken to Charitynavigator.org to complete the donation
4. Choose your donation amount ($10 minimum)
5. Select your Greenlight card as the payment method
6. Once the donation is completed, funds will be pulled from your “Giving” balance
