At LaunchGood, we know that giving is deeply personal. That’s why we created the Giving List—a simple way to make sure your donations go to the fundraisers that matter most to you.
Whether you're part of Daily Givers, Friday Givers, the Ramadan Challenge, or the Dhul Hijjah Challenge, the Giving List lets you support the causes you love, in the way that fits your intentions best. This guide will walk you through what the Giving List is, how it works, and how to make the most of it—so every donation reflects your values.

What is the Giving List?
The Giving List is a customizable feature built into any LaunchGood Giving Plan. It allows you to preselect fundraisers you want your scheduled donations to support.
Without a Giving List, donations from your Giving Plan go to impactful fundraisers handpicked by LaunchGood. But by adding fundraisers to your list, you can choose where your donation goes—based on your own values, preferences, or causes you care about.
You can:
- Support specific fundraisers
- Prioritize zakat-verified or tax-deductible causes
- Curate based on themes like education, hunger relief, or local community work
How Does the Giving List Work?
The Giving List works like a queue within your Giving Plan. During each scheduled donation:
- LaunchGood checks your Giving List to find the next fundraiser that hasn't yet received a donation from the current Giving Plan.
- It donates to the next eligible fundraiser on your list that hasn’t been charged yet during that specific Giving Plan cycle.
- If all fundraisers on your list have already been charged under the current Giving Plan, your donation goes to a vetted fundraiser selected by LaunchGood.
How Fundraiser Selection Works:
When you add a fundraiser to your Giving List, it can only be charged under a specific Giving Plan once. Here’s how it works:
If you are subscribed to Daily Givers and have two fundraisers on your list:
- Day 1: The first fundraiser on the list is charged.
- Day 2: The second fundraiser on the list is charged.
- If you re-add the first fundraiser to your list, it will be skipped because it has already been charged under the Daily Givers plan.
- The fundraiser remains on your list, but it will not be charged again for that specific plan.
Handling Multiple Giving Plans:
If you are subscribed to more than one Giving Plan (e.g., Daily Givers and Friday Givers), the same fundraiser can still be charged once per plan.
For example:
- If Fundraiser A was charged under Daily Givers, it will not be charged again within that plan.
- However, if Friday Givers has not yet charged Fundraiser A, it can still receive a donation from that plan.
- Once the fundraiser is charged under both plans, it will be skipped in any subsequent cycles, unless it is re-added after the plan resets.
If There Are No Eligible Fundraisers:
If all fundraisers on your list have already been charged for your active Giving Plan, or if your list is empty, LaunchGood will automatically select a vetted fundraiser for you.
This ensures that your donation is always directed to a meaningful cause, even if your personal list is exhausted for that cycle.
Example:
If you’re subscribed to Dhul Hijjah Challenge and have added Fundraiser A and Fundraiser B to your list:
- Day 1: Fundraiser A receives a donation.
- Day 2: Fundraiser B receives a donation.
- Day 3: Fundraiser A is skipped because it has already been charged for the Dhul Hijjah Challenge.
- Day 3: If no other fundraisers are on the list, LaunchGood will select a vetted fundraiser for that day.
- If you also subscribe to Friday Givers and Fundraiser A has not yet been charged under that plan, it will receive a donation on Friday, even though it was previously charged under the Dhul Hijjah Challenge.
Re-Adding Fundraisers:
If you add a fundraiser back to your list that has already been charged under your current Giving Plan, it will stay on the list but be skipped. It will only be charged again if:
- The Giving Plan resets, or
- The fundraiser has not yet been charged under a different active Giving Plan.
This way, your Giving List remains organized while avoiding duplicate charges within the same plan.

How to Manage Your Giving List

Adding a Fundraiser to Your Giving List
- When browsing fundraisers on LaunchGood, you can add any fundraiser to your Giving List by clicking the heart icon available on the page.
- If the heart icon is empty, clicking it will add the fundraiser to your list.
- If the heart icon is filled, it means the fundraiser is already added to your Giving List.
- To remove a fundraiser, just click the filled heart icon again, and it will be taken off your list.
Managing Your Giving List from Your Profile
To see and organize your list, go to the Giving List tab on your profile. From there, you can:
- Sort the Sequence: Drag and drop fundraisers to set the order in which they will receive your scheduled donations.You may also use the arrow icon available on the left side of the fundraisers to move the sequence.
- Remove a Fundraiser: Click the heart icon next to any fundraiser to remove it from your list.
- Keeping your Giving List organized ensures that your donations go exactly where you want them to, in the order you prefer.

Recurring Giving for Specific Fundraisers
If you want to support a specific fundraiser daily, weekly, or monthly, you can do so through the Recurring Giving plan. You can browse the available Recurring Giving plans offered by registered charities with LaunchGood here.
Note: Recurring Giving is only available for charities or organizations that offer this plan. When enabled, your chosen fundraiser will receive your support on a regular schedule, independent of your general Giving Plan.
Recurring Giving is perfect if you have a particular charity or project that you want to consistently support without cycling through other fundraisers on your Giving List.
Common Questions
Question : If I selected “Zakat Opt-in,” does my donation only go to zakat-verified fundraisers?
- Answer : Not automatically. Zakat Opt-in prioritizes zakat-eligible fundraisers but doesn't guarantee that all selected causes are zakat-verified—unless you manually add zakat-verified fundraisers to your Giving List.
Question : Can I add the same fundraiser more than once to my Giving List?
- Answer : Yes, but it will only receive one donation giving plan/cycle. The Giving Plan won’t charge the same fundraiser twice within the same cycle.
Question : What happens if all fundraisers in my list have already received donations this cycle?
- Answer : LaunchGood will step in and select a trusted, vetted fundraiser to ensure your giving doesn’t pause.
Question : Can I change my Giving List?
- Answer : Definitely. You can edit your Giving List at any time—add new fundraisers, reorder them, or remove ones you no longer want to support.
