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.

Step 3: Verify your organization's authorized representative
In this section, enter the contact information of your organization's authorized representative to verify their identity.
