A nonprofit organisation can build more trust with the community, as well as boost their profile and online presence to maximize support. Verifying your nonprofit organisation will allow Brownie Points to confirm that the organisation is registered with trusted institutions and establishes legitimacy with our corporate clients and supporters.


NOTE: While you will be able to confirm your Nonprofit verification information on your Brownie Points account, becoming a verified nonprofit partner is only available to subscribed nonprofit organisations. Once verified, your nonprofit organisation will:

  • Appear in the list of verified organisations, visible to everyone on Brownie Points
  • Receive an official "verified" badge on your organisation's profile and on all causes created for you as the beneficiary organisation
