Pledgeling verifies nonprofits to make sure your funds are going to legitimate IRS-registered 501(c)(3) organizations. This can take up to five business days – in addition to getting data from the IRS and third-party data providers, sometimes we are waiting for the nonprofit to send us current information such as a new IRS "determination letter" or an address verification. The time it takes to process each request also depends on the volume of requests we get, as we process each request in the order we receive them.
