GiveScan uses secure third-party payment processors such as Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay and donor management systems like Donorbox. When you donate:

• payment information goes directly to these processors

Nonprofit partners receive the donation information required to fulfill verified needs and maintain compliance, which may include:

Nonprofits may contact you with receipts or impact updates, in accordance with their own policies.
