The Givinga Foundation Nonprofit Portal provides full transparency into donations and disbursements, allowing your organization to track incoming funds and see when to expect your next payment.
1. Navigate to the Reports Section
- Click "Reports" in the left navigation panel.
- The Pending Disbursements section on the top-left card of the Reports page displays the total amount pending disbursement.
- Funds are withheld until the cumulative donations for your nonprofit meet or exceed the minimum threshold requirements as outlined by the Givinga Foundation Guidelines.
2. Use the Donations Tab to See Individual Contributions
The Donations tab allows you to track all incoming donations before they are disbursed. Here, you can view:
- Donation Date: The exact date the donation was made.
- Amount & Fees: The total donation amount and any associated processing fees.
- Company & Donor Name: The corporate donor (if applicable) and the individual donor (if provided).
- Notes from Donor: Any note the donor attached to the donation.
- Campaign Details: The fundraising campaign or initiative linked to the donation.
Notes: Donor names are only visible if the donor has selected Full or Partial Transparency. Anonymous donations will not display donor information.
If no donations appear, your organization may not have received any contributions yet.
3. Switch to the Disbursements Tab to Track Payments
The Disbursements tab helps you track outgoing payments to your nonprofit. Here, you can monitor:
- Disbursement Date: The date when the funds were or will be sent to your organization.
- Disbursement ID: The unique ID associated with the disbursement for reference is created once a donation is ready for disbursement.
- Total Amount Sent: The total amount of the disbursement.
- Payment Type: Indicates whether the disbursement was sent via e-payment (ACH) or paper check.
- Payment Details: A breakdown of the donations included in the disbursement.
Note: If no disbursements appear, your donations may not have reached the minimum required threshold for processing.
4. Disbursement Processing Timeline
- Donations must meet the minimum cumulative threshold of $50, outlined in the Givinga Foundation Guidelines before becoming eligible for disbursement.
- A mandatory cooling period of 7 days applies to all donations before funds are processed.
- Electronic Payments (ACH): After the cooling period, ACH payments are processed within a few business days. Additional processing time may vary depending on individual bank procedures.
- Paper Checks: Checks are mailed shortly after the cooling period concludes. Delivery time may vary based on postal service schedules and nonprofit check-cashing practices.
Note: Delivery times for mailed checks depend on postal service schedules and nonprofit processing times.
5. How to Update Your Payment Method
To switch from paper checks to e-payments (ACH) for faster disbursements:
- Click “Reports” on the left navigation panel.
- Click "Update Payment Method" in the Payment Details Card on the Reports page.
- A new tab will open with Stripe Connect, where you will be guided through the ACH enrollment and verification process.
- Once verified, future disbursements will be sent via ACH.
