Get Started
How do I register and receive donations for my charitable organization?
Registering your organization is easy. In order to register and receive donations, you must be an official representative of an eligible organization, and then follow these easy steps:
- Create an organization administrator account and accept the HolyPay Donation Participation Agreement on behalf of your organization. Be sure to add the correct Organization Name and IEN number associated with the organization.
- Verify your email address (we recommend that you use an email address that is associated with your charitable organization).
- Submit your organization’s bank account information.
- Upload a copy of a voided check or bank statement to verify your organization’s bank account information.
What is an organization administrator?
An organization administrator is an official representative of an organization that has authority to access and manage HolyPay Donation program information on behalf of their charitable organization.
Why do you need an email address for my charitable organization?
We require a valid email address so that we can communicate important program information to each registered organization. From time to time we will send emails with information about your organization’s donation amounts and information about HolyPay Donation program promotions.
Can you mail our organization a donation check instead of sending an electronic funds transfer?
We do not mail donation checks due to the expense of check processing and fulfillment. We distribute donations using electronic transfer to reduce operational expenses.
Will customers still be able to select my charitable organization if I don’t register?
Yes. Your organization’s profile will be visible for customers to select, but you won’t be able to receive donations until you register and your account has been verified.
What happens if another person has already registered my charitable organization and they were not authorized to do so?
If your organization has been registered by an unauthorized person please contact us.
About HolyPay Donation Program
What is HolyPay Donation Program?
The HolyPay Donation Program is a simple way for anyone to support their favorite charitable organization every time they shop at one of HolyPay’s LOCAL or ONLINE (e-commerce) partner businesses. There is no cost to participate.
Partner businesses offer to donate up to 10% of their customers’ purchase total to the charitable organization of their choice. Each user can choose up to 2 organizations to support.
How do users select a charitable organization to support with the HolyPay Donation Program?
In their HolyPay account, users will be able to select up to 2 charitable organizations to receive donations from their future HolyPay transactions. We will remember their selected charities whenever they shop and pay with HolyPay at any of our partner businesses. Then all purchases will result in a donation for their selected charity.
What charities can users choose from?
Users can choose from over one million eligible 501(c)(3) public charitable organizations.
Receive Donations
How does my charity receive the donations?
Each quarter, HolyPay will make donations to eligible charitable organizations by electronic funds transfer. Donations will be transferred approximately 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter.
How much of the customers’ transaction amount at a Partner Business is donated?
Each partner business designates the transaction percentage (1-10%) to be donated via the HolyPay Donation Program.
Can I view the amount of donations my charitable organization has received?
Yes, you’ll have access to this information in your Org Central account.
Does HolyPay charge a fee to transfer donations to my organization’s bank account?
Yes, HolyPay will deduct 3% from your quarterly donation total to help offset the costs associated with running the program and processing the electronic funds transfer.
Spread the Word
How do we spread the word about the HolyPay Donation Program to our supporters?
