I’d like my organization to become part of CLYNK to Give. What should I do?

Please contact our CLYNK to Give Consultant at 1.866.228.8454, Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm. We’d like to learn more about your organization’s goals, as well as how many supporters/volunteers/donors you have so we can determine the best way to use CLYNK to help you fundraise!

How do I transfer part or all of my balance to a charity?

CLYNK’s technology platform enables CLYNK customers to support their local charities from the comfort of their own home. Did you know that you could transfer all or parts of your CLYNK balance to different non-profits and causes?

Here’s a quick video showing you how easy it is.

What is a Bag Donation Event?

Community support is core to CLYNK’s mission. That’s why we’ve built a platform that allows CLYNKers to give back to their community and for charities and causes to fundraise.

Bag Donation events make it easy for schools and charities to fundraise without having to purchase CLYNK bags and distribute them. As a CLYNKer who wants to support local charities and causes, you use enroll in a fundraising campaign for a specified period of time.

What are the benefits of participating in CLYNK to Give?

CLYNK to Give is a program built around the needs of nonprofits that wish to encourage and manage the donations of a large group of members or supporters.
A CLYNK to Give account provides the unique ability to order bags, tags, and envelopes directly through your CLYNK to Give Associate in quantities of 100.
All bags ordered through the CLYNK to Give program come with the corresponding amount of printed bag tags
CLYNK to Give account holders receive quarterly statements so you always know how your efforts are progressing.
In addition to donating their bags of containers, your members and supporters can also donate funds directly to your organization’s CLYNK to Give account from their own personal CLYNK account at any time, in any denomination, with no fee.
CLYNK to Give account holders automatically receive the funds in their account on a quarterly basis, provided there is a balance on the account of more than $50. As of 1/1/21 CLYNK will only issue payment via ACH. It’s fast and easy and is much less expensive than a paper check! We pass along the $3.25. Paper checks are $6.50 for those organizations that are precluded from using ACH.

Can we convert a personal or business account to a CLYNK to Give account? Can we convert a CLYNK to Give account to a personal account?

How do we receive our money from CLYNK to Give?

If you are in the CLYNK to Give program, each quarter an electronic account transfer ($3.25 fee) or a physical check ($6.50 fee) will be issued for your accumulated balance. We only issue disbursements for accounts with a balance of $50 or more. If you do not have the minimum balance, a payment will not be made and your balance will be carried over into the next quarter.

Are there any fees associated with CLYNK to Give?

There are no fees to use the program for fundraising however, we do pass along fees associated with issuing checks and direct deposit payments. A direct deposit incurs a $3.25 fee, and the fee for a physical check is $6.50, these fees will be deducted from your account balance before payment is sent.

We urge organizations that can utilize direct deposits to do so as cutting paper checks is time-consuming, costly, and can get lost in the mail.
