SBA Loans for Nonprofits

SBA Loans for Nonprofit Organizations: What You Need to Know

SBA loans are often seen as a lifeline for small businesses—but can nonprofits qualify? In most cases, the answer is no. Traditional SBA programs like 7(a) and 504 exclude 501(c)(3) organizations, but there are exceptions for certain nonprofit childcare centers, community development corporations (CDCs), and for-profit subsidiaries. This guide breaks down exactly when nonprofits might be eligible, why most are not, and what alternative funding options exist.

Crowded is a financial platform that offers Girl Scout troops an easy way to collect, spend and manage money online. 

Girl Scouts are constantly collecting money  – cookie sales, events, trips, donation drives, membership fees, and more. Using Crowded to collect these funds is safe, easy and trackable. 

When Girl Scouts are selling cookies, they can accept cash and mobile point-of-sale payments with a smartphone, and these funds will go directly into their troop bank account*.

When the girl scout troop needs to spend, they can spend from the same place where they collect. The Troop treasurer can issue digital debit cards as needed to members to spend with budgeted amounts. 

With collecting with Crowded, you can avoid constantly transferring funds between payment apps and banks to access your group’s money. Utilizing embedded finances, Crowded enables your group to bank*, collect, and spend with just one platform.

Also, we provide fund protection. Unlike Venmo, funds you keep in Crowded are in FDIC pass-through, insurance-eligible accounts* and FDIC insurance available on deposits up to $250k.

Cheddar Up provides a great way to collect payments online, but that’s where it ends. Once you collect funds through Cheddar Up, you have to withdraw it to a bank account to use the funds. 

Crowded offers online payment collection, like Cheddar Up, but also provides modern banking* services within the app. You can spend the collected funds, track payments, and use Crowded Rewards to raise extra funds for your group!

Crowded is also cheaper. Cheddar Up charges a 3.59% + $0.59 credit card fee while Crowded charges only 2.99%.

Crowded accounts are free to set up – we have no minimum balances or subscription fees.*

What do we charge for?

When collecting payments, we charge 2.99% of the collection amount if paid by card and $5 for ACH payments.

You can always choose whether you want to cover these fees or ask your payers to handle them.
