How do I add a charity fund to my Zola registry?

We love the idea of adding charities to your registry as a way to give back.

There are a few ways to do this:

Pick a Category from GlobalGiving on Zola

We've partnered with GlobalGiving to make it easy for Zola couples to support millions of causes worldwide. You can browse the set categories by clicking that link and add your favorite (or several favorites!) for your guests to contribute towards.

Add a CharityChoice gift card
Have a different cause in mind? Zola also offers CharityChoice, which allows you to take funds contributed by your guests and give them to the charity of your choice. You can take a look at their Charity List to find out which organizations they work with.

Add a fully customizable cash fund
Neither of these options feel quite right? You can always create a cash fund for the organization of your choice or add it as an external link on your registry! Just a tip: these cash fund contributions will not be tax-deductible, and will include the 2.5% processing fee applied to all cash gifts.
