Station / Platform relationships / Internal

Where YuCROWN is already listed.

Three rooms, three relationships. This Station keeps the profiles, the published wording and the next honest step — so nobody has to guess what is live where.

Overview

What this Station holds

Candid, Benevity and YourCause / Blackbaud are the places where funders, corporate giving teams and employee donors meet YuCROWN before they ever meet a person. Each one carries a profile, a description, a verification state and a set of documents — and each one drifts out of date quietly.

So this Station records the relationship, not the grant: who we are on each platform, what wording is published there, which documents are uploaded, whether the canonical wording still matches, and what needs doing next. Detailed application and grant records stay in their own opportunity area.

Nothing here is guessed. Where a value has not been checked and written down, it reads not recorded yet — and that is a to-do, not a gap. No logins or credentials are ever stored on this page.

A profile is a promise someone else reads without us in the room.

What it is for YuCROWN

Candid is the reference layer. Grantmakers, due-diligence teams and data partners pull organisational details — mission statement, leadership, financials, EIN status — from the Candid profile, and many funder portals prefill from it. Whatever is published here becomes the version of YuCROWN that circulates without us.

Our job on this platform is narrow and ongoing: keep the profile claimed, keep the description identical to the canonical YuCROWN wording, and keep the seal level moving forward as documents become available.

Confirm the published profile description matches canonical YuCROWN wording and record the result. Platinum is a future upgrade when a verified 2025 quantitative impact metric is available — do not invent one.
Apple Pay for Donations — note
Candid documentation indicates a current-year Seal may support Apple Pay for Donations eligibility, subject to 501(c)(3) status and separate eligibility screening by Apple, Candid, and the donation platform. Gold status does not itself enable Apple Pay.
NEXT ACTION — Later: identify the YuCROWN donation/payment surface that should support Apple Pay, verify eligibility through the correct channel, and add the button only if formally approved.

Corporate giving network

Benevity

Where employees at large companies find causes to give to and match. Access depends on cause vetting and a current payment route.

3 projects published — 2026-09-23 Cause vetting — not recorded yet Collapse roomOpen room

What it is for YuCROWN

Benevity is a distribution channel, not a grant portal. Corporate employee-giving and volunteering programmes run through it, so being findable and correctly vetted decides whether a matched gift can reach YuCROWN at all — and whether payouts arrive electronically or as a cheque.

What matters here is the searchable cause listing, the vetting state, the banking / disbursement route and the short public blurb employees actually read on a phone.

Employee giving & disbursement

YourCause / Blackbaud

The second major corporate giving network. Its own nonprofit profile, its own verification queue, its own payment settings.

Verified — eligible 2026-09-21 Admin approved 2026-09-18 Collapse roomOpen room

What it is for YuCROWN

YourCause, now part of Blackbaud, powers corporate social responsibility programmes for a different set of employers than Benevity — so it has to be maintained separately, even though the work rhymes. Volunteer opportunities, workplace campaigns and matched donations all route through its nonprofit profile.

Treat it as a parallel room: same canonical wording, its own claim status, its own uploaded paperwork, its own payment preference. Nothing is assumed to carry over from the other platforms.

How this Station stays true

  • Timestamps are written exactly as UPDATED — YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm, in the platform room where the change happened.
  • Every log entry answers three things: what changed, where, and why or from what source.
  • Unknowns stay as not recorded yet. We never fill a field with a guess to make the page look finished.
  • Entries marked Agent · Gmail come from confirmation emails read in the YuCROWN inbox. They record only what the message actually said — nothing is extrapolated from them.
  • No passwords, keys, bank account numbers or login credentials are kept here — only the route to the right door.
  • Grant and application detail lives in its own opportunity area. This Station records the platform relationship and the links to it.
  • Canonical wording has one home; each platform simply reports whether it matches, and when that was last confirmed.
