Why did our charity get an email from Clutter Sale?

Clutter Sale is a marketplace where people sell things they no longer need and give a share of each sale to a charity they pick. We write to charities for one of two reasons.

1. Money is waiting for you
The subject reads like "$24.00 has been raised for (your charity)". Someone sold something on Clutter Sale and chose your charity as the cause, and that money is being held for you. Sellers can choose any 501(c)(3) in the IRS list, which is how your charity was chosen. You have not been signed up for anything.
There is no deadline. Nothing happens to the money if you ignore the email; it keeps waiting. To receive it, see "How do we claim our charity's page and the money set aside for us?"

2. An invitation to join
Our founder, Larry Holisky, writes to charities that might like to join. If you don't reply, a few short follow-up emails come after it, then they stop.
Joining is free for a charity. You hold no stock, run no event and have nothing to manage: sellers keep their own items and hand them over to buyers locally.

Where we found your address
From public sources: the IRS records, your tax filings, your website, or a web search.

Checking it's really us
