Receiving donation payments

You don’t have to be a member of NFG to receive donations. For more info, refer to NFG's website.

If you don’t have an account with Network for Good, but have opted in to receive payments, they'll send a check to your organization’s address on Guidestar.

As long as your nonprofit is listed in Guidestar's database and has not opted out of receiving online donations on your Guidestar profile, it can be eligible to receive donations.

You can also sign up for an NFG account on Network for Good's website, giving your nonprofit greater control over managing payments, your donation history, and more.

You can control your disbursement preferences in your Network for Good account.

Please ensure that you have opted in to receiving donations via Guidestar.
