Why is vetting required for my organization?

When creating your application, you may receive a notification that the organization you selected needs to be vetted. A screen labeled Vetting Required will appear after you click on Select in the Select Your Organization screen if this is the case.

To continue your application, please provide the name and email of a person at the organization that we can contact to begin the vetting process.

After you submit your application, the organization will be contacted and prompted to apply for vetting to become eligible to receive donations.

Note: No further action is required from the applicants assigned to the application. You will be notified via email when the organization's vetting application has been approved or declined.

Note: Depending on how the organization hosting the program plans to pay out grants, the organization you select may need to be vetted by Blackbaud before you can receive funding. Vetting is the process of determining if a nonprofit organization is eligible to receive donations through the Blackbaud Giving Fund (BBGF) Donor Advised Giving Program. For more information about vetting, see About Domestic Vetting and About International Vetting in the NPOconnect Help Center.
