JustGiving

JustGiving is a named defendant in the Alaska Attorney General's March 2026 suit, which page 4950 reports as alleging about 1,000 Alaska pages were auto-created. U.S. donations are made to the Blackbaud Giving Fund with an advisement to grant onward, and the checkout suggests a voluntary contribution to JustGiving of about 15-17%. Whole Whale has no evidence bundle for it.
