Payouts FAQ

How do payouts work?

  • When a payout is requested, donations made through the merchant are first collected by OCF. Following collection, the funds are then distributed to the specific nonprofit organizations they are intended to support.

I just received a letter from OCF now what?

  • Congratulations on your first grant from Our Change Foundation!

  • To get started, please claim your nonprofit. There, you'll be able to update your contact and payment details, link your bank account, and view all donations received. Additionally, the portal provides information on the estimated arrival times for your payouts.

What payout methods are available?

  • For faster and more secure payouts, Change recommends all nonprofits sign up for direct deposit (ACH) for receiving donations.

If I add a bank account, will it automatically initiate a payout?

  • Your initial payout will be sent via a check from Our Change Foundation.

  • For all other payouts afterwards, you will need to claim your nonprofit and add in your bank information to receive them via ACH moving forward.

  • You can then choose how frequently you'd like to receive payouts automatically (ie - ASAP, weekly, monthly, etc).

How can I expedite my payout?

  • Our team is continuously enhancing our system to speed up payout deliveries to nonprofits. To help streamline this process, please verify and set your preferred payout setting.
