- If the nonprofit is onboarded to Percent Impact Foundation:
- If the nonprofit is not yet onboarded:
- If delivery isn’t possible (e.g. wrong address, ineligible country):
Funds are sent via electronic transfer, usually within 15–45 days of hitting the $45 threshold
A check will be mailed within 15–45 days
The funds may be redirected to a nonprofit with a similar mission and location
