To gain full access to the Nonprofit Portal and to ensure security and compliance with financial regulations, the Givinga Foundation Nonprofit Portal requires Adminstrator Users to complete an Identity Verification process. The Givinga Foundation has partnered with Stripe to easily and securely verify your identity.
Why is Verification Required?
Identity verification is required to:
- Protect nonprofits from fraud and unauthorized access.
- Comply with financial regulations and anti-money laundering (AML) laws.
- Ensure that donations are directed to legitimate charitable organizations.
- Enable secure and timely disbursement of funds.
Access Restrictions Before Verification
Until verification is completed, certain portal features will be restricted:
- User Management: You will not be able to add, remove, or manage user access.
- Profile Updates: Nonprofit information, such as the mission statement and contact details, cannot be modified.
- Payment Processing: Donations may be received, but the e-payment disbursement option will not be available until verification is complete.
Steps for Identity Verification
Step 1: Verify Your Nonprofit
- When first registering your nonprofit for an account, you are required to enter your nonprofit’s EIN (Employer Identification Number).
- Confirm your nonprofit’s legal name and contact information.
Step 2: Verify Your Identification
- To gain full access to the platform, you are required to verify your identification. Please have on hand, a valid government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, or identity card) for identity verification.
- On the Home Screen, click “Begin Verification”.
- Stripe’s verification process will open in a new tab with instructions.
Step 3: Confirmation
- Once verified, you will receive a confirmation email. Your nonprofit’s account status will be updated, and you will gain full access to the portal.
