It should.  The only transactions I'm aware of that are not eligible are cash back type transactions where you are withdrawing cash from an ATM, purchasing currency, etc.  Since you are not receiving any of the money from the transaction you should be good to go.

Anything you are actually buying counts. In your case you'd be buying a contribution to some organization.

 

As said earlier, if it was some type of cash back thing, that would not qualify. That being said, gift card purchases do count as you'd be buying a gift card.

I can confirm that charitable and non-charitable(gofundme) donations count to Companion Pass spend on your CC.
