Giving Tag Program
Each Community Bag comes with a Giving Tag attached, providing shoppers with the option to make their own choice of a local nonprofit to receive the $1 donation from their bag purchase.
By following instructions on the Giving Tag within seven days of purchase, shoppers visit MySEGCause.com to submit a nonprofit of their choice. Once your organization reaches $10 or more from the Giving Tag, you’ll receive a donation check!
If the Giving Tag isn’t submitted, then the $1 will be directed to the nonprofit selected by store leadership for that month.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Giving Tag Program?
How can I use the Giving Tag to direct my $1 donation?
When you buy the bag, you’ll notice there’s a tag attached to it. Simply follow the instructions on the back of the tag:
- Scratch and reveal the unique code.
*Please Note: There are no numbers or symbols in the code.
- Visit mysegcause.com within 7 days of your purchase.
- Fill out the necessary information on the website form.
- Select a nonprofit to receive the $1 donation.
If the donation is not directed within 7 days of purchase, the donation will automatically go to the store’s selected nonprofit beneficiary that month.
Does the Giving Tag replace the monthly Community Bag Program?
When are the donations distributed to the benefiting nonprofits?
We will send donation checks directly to selected nonprofits earning $10 or more in the Community Bag Program approximately 10-12 weeks after their selected month ends. Selected nonprofits earning less than $10 in their selected month will be sent a donation check when the accumulated benefits reach at least $10 or at the end of the year.
Nonprofits participating in the Giving Tag Program who earn $10 or more at any point will be sent their donation checks approximately 10-12 weeks after the close of the month in which the funds reaching or surpassing $10 were raised. Giving Tag Program beneficiaries who earn less than $10 throughout the year will be sent a donation check with any remaining balance in our account at the end of the year.
Can I submit my nonprofit to participate in this program?
Yes. We are committed to serving the communities in which we live and work, so if your nonprofit is 501(c)(3) certified, then visit our Submit An Organization to participate in this program.
