Matt Harrell (ID: 00000086909835db) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/22/2022 Givebacks makes it so easy to support my daughter's school. Like others, I just send my cash back to the nonprofit too. Best part of this extension is that it shows you which sites are on Givebacks when you do a Google search. So cool!

Tristan Barnum (ID: 0000000699b05698) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2022 Love this extension and am so happy to be able to support my daughter's little school whenever I shop online. The cashback is a nice bonus, but I'd use it even without this.
