How to Sign Up: Step by Step

Step 1: Schedule a Demo. Before creating an account, schedule a meeting with a Pure Charity Partner Impact Specialist. This gives the team a chance to understand your nonprofit’s needs, explain how the platform works, and determine the right service plan for your organization. Schedule a Demo here.

Step 2: Create a Personal User Account. Every person who uses Pure Charity — whether as a donor, trip participant, or nonprofit admin — needs a personal User Account. Go to purecharity.com/signup and create your account. Be sure to confirm your email before moving to the next step.

Step 3: Create Your Nonprofit Account. Once you have a User Account, create your organization’s Nonprofit (Field Partner) Account at purecharity.com/field_partners/new. Enter all of your organization’s information accurately — this information is used during the verification process.

Step 4: Account Verification. After you submit your nonprofit information, the Pure Charity team will review and verify your organization’s eligibility. You’ll be redirected to your Nonprofit Dashboard with limited access during this process. Once verified, you’ll receive an email notification and be asked to enter billing payment details.

Step 5: Onboarding & Training. Pure Charity provides customized onboarding and training to help your organization get the most out of the platform. Your Implementation Manager will walk you through account setup, fundraiser creation, donor management, and any additional features your nonprofit plans to use.

Step 6: Launch. Once onboarding is complete, you’re ready to start raising money, managing sponsors, coordinating trips, and growing your impact.

How Long Does the Sign-Up Process Take?

The verification and onboarding timeline varies depending on your organization’s readiness and the complexity of your needs, but most nonprofits complete the process within a few weeks of their initial demo.
