The applicable Administrative Cost Deduction will then be deducted from the Net Proceeds, and the remainder (the “Subscriber Proceeds”) will be forwarded to Subscriber. The timing of Subscriber’s receipt of the Subscriber Proceeds will vary based on a number of factors, such as the donation type, and the time required to liquidate Noncash Donations.

Donor Data Security You Can Trust
What’s the point in having data if you can’t keep it secure?
We Keep Your Data in the Right Hands
Your donors come to your nonprofit because they put trust in your mission and believe in your work. What may slip their mind is the data they leave behind from every transaction. All that data added to your own internal documents becomes a gold mine for anyone with wrong intentions.
Your work is too valuable for a data breach to occur. iDonate knows this because we believe in your mission, too. We’ve built our platform with the strongest security in mind to keep what you have safe. Your data belongs to you, and we work to keep it that way.
We Mean Business with Your Security
Nothing about security we take lightly. Every year, we run a SOC 2 Type 2 audit to see who has access to our source code, servers, even our physical office. We also run regular penetration tests where we authorize a simulated cyberattack on our systems; finding any loopholes to close.
We make sure to have all bases covered with controls in place that keep us – and you – available, reliable, and secure.
