Donation processing for nonprofits and donation-based websites

Accept one-time and recurring gifts online, by link and in person at your events. We review how your organization collects support today, confirm which nonprofit programs you may qualify for, and put the recommendation in writing before anything is signed.

Eligibility and pricing are reviewed individually and remain subject to underwriting approval.

Who this is for

Registered charities, faith communities and donation-based sites each get underwritten differently β€” we review your model before recommending a route.

Nonprofits & 501(c)(3) organizations

Community organizations, food programs, animal rescues and foundations collecting one-time and recurring gifts online and in person.

  • Online giving page
  • Recurring donors
  • Fund designations
  • Exportable records

Churches, temples & schools

Faith communities, PTAs and booster clubs handling weekly giving, tuition or dues, plus seasonal drives and events.

  • Weekly giving
  • Dues & tuition
  • Kiosk or terminal
  • Event collections

Donation-based websites & creators

Crowdfunding pages, memberships, mutual-aid funds and creator support pages that need card acceptance on a site you already run.

  • Embedded form
  • Payment links
  • Memberships
  • API / plugin options

What donation acceptance includes

Availability of individual features depends on the processor and platform selected for your organization.

Online donation forms

A hosted, mobile-friendly giving form or donation page that can be embedded on your existing website, with one-time and recurring options.

Recurring giving

Monthly and annual donors can be stored securely on file so their gift repeats without you re-keying card details.

Payment links & text-to-give

Send a branded giving link by email, text, QR code or social post so supporters can donate without a full checkout.

Donor receipts & records

Automatic emailed receipts and exportable donation records to support your own acknowledgement letters and year-end reporting.

Events, galas & drives

Handheld and countertop terminals for galas, fundraisers, festivals and collection tables, including tap, chip and digital wallets.

Fund and campaign tracking

Designate gifts to a fund, campaign or program so reporting shows where support came from and what it was given for.

How the review works

Nonprofit and donation accounts are underwritten like any other merchant account, so we explain the process instead of promising an outcome.

    Online only, in person at events, or both β€” plus the platform or website your supporters already use.

    If you already accept cards, a free statement review shows what you pay now, line by line, with no obligation.

  3. 3

    We prepare a written recommendation

    Giving form, recurring setup and any terminals, quoted individually for your organization and reviewed with you before anything is signed.

  4. 4

    Underwriting, setup and training

    Nonprofit accounts are reviewed like any other merchant account. Expect to provide formation documents, banking details and an authorized signer.
