off.)
- Click My Account (top right of your screen).
- Select Tools.
- In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
- In the search bar, type donations.
- In the results box, highlight donations, then click GO.
- You'll land on the Donations to Charity page. Click Yes.
- You'll see money given to groups including religious organizations listed as an Eligible Donation (click the 1st screenshot below to enlarge it for reference). Click Yes.
