## Reviews from nonprofits

- **Paying It Forward** (June 2026, Approved, rated 5/5): Last October when we started up our Warm Heart Community dinners for the homeless. Portillos generously donated an Italian Beef Sandwiches for 100 people to help us provide a meal for the event.
- **Southeast Japanese School** (May 2026, Declined, rated 2/5): Disappointed, especially since in addition to providing a donation request letter, I had to also attach a W-9. They are not donating now and only offer the fundraising option. I would say a low rate of approval in So. Cal area. Definitely not 58%.
- **AIGA Dallas** (May 2026, Declined, rated 5/5): Didn't get a gift card donation, but they got back to us pretty quickly and let us know about their fundraiser night program where you can earn 20% of sales. You do have to apply separately so keep that in mind. Overall a good experience — worth a shot if a spirit night works for your org!
- **St Coletta of Wisconsin** (April 2026, Approved, rated 5/5): They were VERY fast in their decision/gifting. SUper easy to work! THANK YOU!!!
- **Renaissance Charter School at Chickasaw Trail** (September 2025, Approved, rated 5/5): Very playful with responses that had puns evey chance, lol! Very kind donation and we are super grateful for the help.
- **Balanced Life Org. Inc.** (May 2025, Approved, rated 5/5): awesome!! bless them
- **Vets R Us, Inc.** (April 2025, Approved, rated 5/5): Very fast response. I received approval for a $25.00 gift card. Prompt responses to emails. Very personable.
- **Smile Honey Child** (June 2024, Approved, rated 5/5): Amazing 🤩 we received a box filled with goodies. Shirt, glasses, key chain, cup, bag, lanyard, football, and a 25.00 gift card . The kids went crazy! 🤪 thank you so much for supporting Smile Honey Child
- **Desert Foothills Library** (January 2024, Approved, rated 5/5): Very fast response. Kind employees.
