Give to CARAT

Before you pay

• You get a card, and it is yours. A digital card with your name, your fandom, the amount and the week — plus your Founder number if you claim one. You download it and keep it. Founder numbers are issued once and never reissued, and a week that has closed never reopens, so a card cannot be obtained again afterwards.
• This is not charity. It is not a donation to a charity or to an artist, and it is not tax-deductible. Nobody is paid out and there is nothing to claim. What moves is a number on a public board, and what you receive is the card.
• Your money counts at full face value. Wherever you live. Sales tax, where your country charges it, is paid by us out of the price — it never buys rank, and a fan paying more tax never buys less. A single gift cannot exceed the $50 daily limit, because the payment page will not take more than that. If you give more than once in a day and pass the limit, the part above it does not add to the board; write to us if that happens.
• 72 hours to change your mind. A full refund for any reason, no questions asked, for 72 hours after you pay. How to ask .
• $50 per person, per day. Counted by email address across any rolling 24 hours, so one bad night cannot cost you more than that.
• This is public. Your gift and your country appear on the live board — never how much you gave. Your name appears only if a human approves it.
