How do I know donations are making it to my nonprofit?
We work with MakeMyDonation, a Donor Advised Fund that distributes money via check to the various
nonprofits our users support each month.
How will transactions show up on donors’ bank
statements?Bstow virtually rounds up their spare change throughout the month. Transactions only occur once per month and
show up as Bstowapp via MakeMyDonation.
How do I change the default picture for my nonprofit?
The default picture shows up either from the URL you registered with the IRS or from the first logo that appears in Google when searching your name. While we cannot
currently change this picture, we are working on a solution.
