| Every transaction | $1 from every completed SHIP claim that collects the $2.99 service fee goes to a church or charity, taken from that fee. Pickup is $0 and does not fund a dollar. The item stays $0. This is Gift N Thrift’s pledge, not the donor’s tax write-off. |
| Church referral | Optional code. That claim’s $1 goes to the referring organization’s charity, reserved when the listing is published and funded when the ship fee is collected. It does not expire. Paid claims with no code still fund $1 to the Gift N Thrift charity pool. |

Compared with classifieds
Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook Marketplace are built to sell. Gift N Thrift is built to give. There is no item price to negotiate. Claimers still pay real postage plus $2.99, and furniture is pickup only.
