To be 'nominated' means a potential donor wants to see your organization added as an eligible organization within their workplace giving program.
If nominated, the contact (at your organization) provided by the employee will receive emails with the subject “Join Benevity and Connect With Millions of Global Supporters” asking your organization to register for the Benevity Causes Portal. These emails will be sent over 4 weeks.
If you are already registered, reply to the invitation email and provide your organization's name as it appears in the Causes Portal and registered charity number so we can ensure the employee is notified. Make sure that your profile is up to date by completing your self-certification and signing up for EFT to receive donations.
How to register your organization's profile
Register your nonprofit through the Benevity Causes Portal. You'll be invited to complete the following steps:
After you have completed the onboarding steps, the employee who nominated you will be notified by our End User Care team. There is no further action required on your part.
I can't find my organization in the search form. What do I do?
Learn how to add your organization to the Causes Portal.
I found my organization in the Portal but it says it's already registered. How do I log in?
This means a previous employee registered your organization's profile. Check with your colleagues to see if anyone has the login credentials. If no one has access, you can request to change the owner of the account. Learn more about registered profiles.
Is a nomination the same as a donation?
No. A nomination means an employee was unable to contribute to your organization, so they requested to have your organization added. Please be aware that a nomination, as well as the completion of your registration, does not guarantee eligibility for financial support.
What factors could affect my nonprofit's eligibility status?
Benevity performs regular due diligence to ensure platform integrity. Platform eligibility depends on factors such as maintaining valid charitable status and adhering to Benevity's Causes Terms of Use and Platform Guidelines. Ongoing monitoring ensures compliance, and non-compliance may result in deactivation. Learn more about eligibility here: How does Benevity assess eligibility of my organization?
