ManualLink lets you securely submit your nonprofit’s bank account information to our team without connecting to Plaid – however, it can take up to 8 weeks to be processed and receive approval.

 

Our ManualLink option is designed for those folks whose needs are not met by the DirectLink application – that is why we strongly recommend using the DirectLink option first!

 

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.

With the ManualLink option, you will be prompted to provide information to verify that you have access to your nonprofit's donation activity. This typically means including a scanned copy of a voided check or a bank statement for your organization.
