This article goes over the registration process for an organization that is located outside of the United States. These steps involve creating an account in NPOconnect and then claiming your organization in order to become an administrator.
Our registration process to become the admin consists of 4 parts:
- Create an account at https://nonprofit.yourcause.com
- Confirm your email address
- Locate and claim your organization
- Submit documentation for YourCause to approve
Part 1: Create an Account
If you have not already created an account in NPOconnect, you will need to go to https://nonprofit.yourcause.com to begin. Click on Sign Up and fill out the necessary fields. Then, click on Continue.
The next screen will ask you if you received a check from us. If you have, you can enter the details in order to automatically claim your organization and bypass Part 3 of registration. This step can be skipped if you did not receive a check.
On the final screen, click on Create account in order to confirm your email and move on to Part 2.
Part 2: Confirm Your Email Address
In order to ensure your email is valid, we will send you a confirmation email. Once you receive the email, click on Confirm my email address.
If you do not receive the email within 20 minutes and have checked your spam folder, please contact us. This would indicate that your email provider needs to add YourCause as an approved email sender.
Part 3: Locate and Claim Your Organization
Once you verify your email address, you can log into the site using the email and password created in Part 1. Click on Claim my Nonprofit to get started.
Step 1: Country
Select the country your organization is located in and the option that best represents your organization.
Step 2: Organization Type
Select the first option - My organization is a stand-alone nonprofit or is a national office.
Step 3: Search for My Organization
Search and locate your organization. You can search by Name or the Registration ID/Number.
If you are unable to locate your organization, please click on I can't find my organization.
Step 4: Contact Information
This is an optional step but recommended. Provide your contact information in case our team needs to contact you in order to confirm the information provided.
Step 5: Verify Your Identity
Upload your Role Verification. View the Proof of Identity resource for examples of what you can use for this step. For volunteers or smaller nonprofits, you can use our Sample Role Verification Letter.
Part 4: Submit Documentation for YourCause to Approve
Once you submit your documentation, it will be sent to YourCause to be reviewed and approved. Generally, we review and approve requests within 24 business hours. You'll receive an automated email once your request has been approved.
