When viewing your Donation Activity graph, some donations may retain the Current status longer than usual compared to the standard disbursement timeline for that program. This means that they may not yet be included in the next disbursement cycle, or processing may still be underway.
A delayed disbursement could be the result of a client's program or disbursement model. For example, some clients may disburse on a different cadence, or they may require additional reviews before a donation or match is approved. As this information is confidential to the client, nonprofits will need to monitor the Donation Activity graph for the donations to appear In Progress, as that will indicate the disbursement is being prepared.

Disbursement thresholds
For nonprofits located in Canada and the US that are receiving donations by check, a disbursement may be delayed if it has not met the donation threshold. Learn more about receiving donations as a paper check.
Nonprofits in some countries may be subject to a disbursement threshold for cross-border donations. Learn more about Why are UKOGF donations still in Current status?
For EFT payments, donations may stay in Current until combined funds meet the foundation's electronic minimum (often $5 or the same value in local currency, sometimes higher for cross-border routes).
