Our DirectLink application option uses Plaid to relay your organization’s bank account information for secure processing and review.

 

Plaid is a well-known financial platform used to verify secure information – you can learn more about Plaid here.

 

Please Note: There are a few limitations to our DirectLink application option – for example, there is a possibility that your bank may not be listed when you reach the step to link your account.

 

Step 1: Get started

To get started, check the box next to 'I reviewed and accept the Giving System Agreement' - then click 'Get Started'.

Step 2: Review the information on file for your organization

On the 'Nonprofit Details' step of the application, you will be asked to review basic information about your nonprofit, including your organization's name, EIN, and address.

 

If the information is incorrect, click the link at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, click 'Next' to proceed.
