Create nonprofit

Create a nonprofit organization.

This is useful for integration partners to use after a nonprofit consents to use the Chariot payment option on their donation forms.

<Tip> If a nonprofit does not already exist for the EIN, this will return a `201 Created` status. If a nonprofit already exists for the given EIN on the system, this will return a `200 OK` status. </Tip> <Warning> Handling errors: - If the nonprofit does not exist within Chariot's database, a `404 Not Found` status is returned. - If the nonprofit exists but does not pass Chariot's compliance checks, a `412 Precondition Failed` status is returned with a reason. </Warning>

isDafPayNetworkboolean

A flag to indicate if the nonprofit will receive grants through the DAFPay Network. Grants processing through the DAFPay Network will be sent to the DAFPay Network 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 93-1372175). The DAFPay Network will then review and process the grant and send the funds to the nonprofit. Grants processed outside the DAFPay Network will be sent directly to the nonprofit.

inGoodStandingboolean

A flag to indicate if the nonprofit is in good standing with the IRS. If the nonprofit is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) Public Charity in good standing with the IRS, this field should be true. This status can change over time and is kept up-to-date by Chariot. Regardless of the value of this field, Connects can still be created for the nonprofit, however the nonprofit will not be able to receive grants through Chariot if this field is false. If you believe the value of this field is incorrect for a Nonprofit, please contact the Chariot team.

claimedboolean

A flag to indicate if the nonprofit has been claimed by a user. A nonprofit is claimed if a user signs up for a Chariot account with this nonprofit and is verified by the Chariot team.
