Create nonprofit

POST

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.

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.

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.
