How Endaoment Works for Nonprofits
Donors use our platform to contribute assets (including cryptocurrency, stock, and more) and recommend grants to organizations like yours. You don’t need to do anything to start receiving grants—Endaoment handles everything. When a donor recommends a grant to your organization, we take care of the entire process:- Converting donated assets to USD
- Conducting required due diligence
- Transferring funds directly to your organization
- Confirming any restrictions if requested

Claiming Your Organization
Claiming your organization is a one-time process that tells Endaoment where to send grant funds. This is the only action required from your nonprofit. Endaoment creates a dedicated Ethereum address for every nonprofit organization that receives a grant from one of our DAFs. Think of this address as an escrow account for holding grant awards until you’re ready to move them elsewhere.You do not need an Endaoment account or an Ethereum wallet to claim your organization and receive USD via ACH.
How to Claim
- Go to your organization’s profile page on Endaoment
- Click “Is this your organization?” on the profile page
- Complete the claim form
- Choose how you’d like to receive funds:
- USD via ACH (most common) — funds deposited directly to your bank account
- USDC via wallet — sent to an Ethereum wallet or CEX account
Review our full claiming guide for detailed instructions on both payout options.
