For those that have funds being processed by Panorama Global Fund, we can also offer consolidated customer support. This means you are able to submit a help request and our representatives will be able to assist you with both product and payment-related questions.

How Does My Organization Get Paid?

We offer two donation disbursement options:

EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer): disbursements take place on a weekly basis for funds raised between Tuesday of the prior week to Monday of the current week.
Mailed checks ($20.00 per check): disbursements take place on a monthly basis for funds raised between the 12th of the previous month to the 12th of the current month.

We encourage all organizations to sign up for EFT, which will remain free of charge and offer quicker, more reliable disbursements. There is a $20.00 fee for each check mailed.
