How quickly does Give Lively disburse donations?

The speed of disbursement is a function of the payment method. (If you are looking for information about the disbursement from Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket, learn how long it takes to receive donation made through the Giving Basket.)

* Funds received through PayPal (for PayPal and Venmo payments) are deposited almost instantly to a nonprofit's PayPal account. Transfers to the nonprofit's bank account must be triggered by nonprofit and can happen two ways: 'Instant Transfer' to an eligible bank typically occurs in minutes, but varies by bank. Fees, limits and other holds may apply. 'Standard Transfer' is 1-3 business days at no additional cost.

** We use two services for ACH transfers and they have different ACH payment limits:

With Plaid, Stripe imposes a per-nonprofit limit of $2,000 per ACH transaction, $6,000 per day in ACH donations and $10,000 per week (Monday to Sunday).
With Stripe Financial Connections, there are no individual transaction or daily limits and the weekly limit is more dynamic, calculated by Stripe based on several criteria specific to the nonprofit. This limit is designed to increase as nonprofits scale up.

With both Plaid and Stripe Financial Connections, nonprofits should contact Stripe immediately about larger donations to review limits and request increases.

*** When PayPal is integrated with our platform, Venmo will also automatically appear as a payment method, but only to US-based donors using a supported device and only on our new payment form.

‍Important Stripe disbursement notes:
‍Funds processed through Stripe are deposited directly to a nonprofit's designated account. Give Lively member nonprofits must have a fully authorized Stripe account connected with Give Lively. Stripe integration means nonprofits gain immediate access to donation data and the ability to export donor data from Stripe.
