Which non-profit organizations can I raise money for?
Any organization that is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as non-profit can apply for participation in the Kinecta Fundraiser Program.¹ Check with the organization of your choice to find out if they are already part of the program. If not, let them know about it, or simply fill out the referral form and bring it to a Kinecta representative – we’ll take it from there.

Here are just a few examples of the types of non-profits that can join: PTAs; religious, alumni, and youth sports organizations; and local/union groups.

How do I start raising money?

• Verify with a Kinecta representative that the non-profit organization of your choice is signed up for the Fundraiser Program.
• Already a Kinecta member? Simply ask a representative to link your account to that organization.
• If you’re not a Kinecta member, it’s easy to join and have your account linked! Apply online or click here to find a member service center near you.
• Get the word out! Tell supporters, friends, family, and neighbors about how easy it is to raise money for your cause.

How exactly is the money raised?
Savings, Share Certificates, and Money Market accounts generate $100 per $100,000, based on an annualized term on the average balance maintained in the account. Checking accounts generate
$1,000 per $100,000, based on an annualized term on the average monthly balance maintained in the account.

To qualify, share certificates must be opened by December 1 of the qualifying year; Money Market, Checking, and Savings accounts must be open for at least 90 days before they are eligible for donation credit. Participants must also have a checking account to be eligible for donation award. There is a maximum annual donation limit of $10,000 per organization.

Accounts opened for less than one year will be prorated. Accounts closed on or before December 31 are ineligible.

The organization must have a minimum of $100,000 worth of aggregate deposits tied to the organization before a donation is granted.
