Shadow Donation

The register

Every.org

Every.org generates donation pages from IRS data and tells the donor when a nonprofit has not given permission, then accepts the gift. The gift is made to Every.org, which grants it on unrestricted; for an unclaimed nonprofit it is disbursed through Network for Good at a 1.50% cost. Every.org states unclaimed pages are not promoted or indexed by search engines.

  6. Unresolved
    6. Search-indexed Unresolved

    Every.org states unclaimed pages are never promoted or indexed by search engines, and page 4950 found no organization pages via robots.txt or sitemap; no page HTML was saved to confirm a noindex directive, so the policy is documented but its effect is not confirmed.

    Named in Whole Whale's source article

    Whole Whale's article "The Rise of Shadow Donation Pages", dated 2025-11-06, discusses Every.org in its current text. The saved copy carries later updates (one marked July 2026), so presence in the first version is not separately confirmed.
