Updated October 28, 2025

 

This California Charitable Fundraising Platform Disclosure Agreement (“Disclosure Agreement”) forms a part of your customer agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by and between Shulcloud, LLC or its affiliates and subsidiaries, as the case may be (“we”, “our”, or “us”) and you (each, a “Party” or together, the “Parties”).  The Parties enter into this Disclosure Agreement to comply with the Act (as defined below).  Under the Act, the State of California requires us to provide certain disclosures to, and obtain certain donation information from you as further set forth below.

 

1. California Regulation.  Pursuant to Title 2, Division 3, Part 2, Chapter 6, Article 7 of the California Government Code (the Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers Charitable Purposes Act (the “Act”)), we are deemed to be a “Charitable Fundraising Platform” under the Act because (a) our platform (the “Platform”) offers a function that permits you to solicit and accept charitable donations from California residents (“Donations”), and (b) you are a non-profit (or have a foundation that is a non-profit) that utilizes this function to solicit and accept such Donations.  As a result, we have certain obligations set forth in this Disclosure Agreement that are legally required by the Act.

 

2. Consent to Use Name on Platform.  Pursuant to the Act, you hereby give us express consent to identify your name on the Platform with respect to any solicitation for Donations which you facilitate through the use of the Platform.

 

3. Disclosure Requirements.  Pursuant to the Act, we disclose the following information:

 

1. The total amount of fees we charge for each Donation shall be as set forth in the Agreement (including any documents or agreements incorporated therein);

 

1. The time period for sending the Donations to you shall be as set forth by your payment processor, but typically is between two and five days.  You should confirm with your payment processor the exact timing;

 

1. You have the right to review and approve information on the Platform with respect to your solicitation; and

 

1. You are allowed to acknowledge persons who make Donations if the donors choose to share their information with you.

 

Additionally, you must provide a conspicuous disclosure to donors about the instances in which you will be deemed ineligible to receive funds as a result of not being in good standing as set forth in Section 4(b) below.

 

4. Obligation to Remain in Good Standing. 

 

1. You shall maintain good standing with the applicable state and federal reporting agencies, including the IRS and, if you solicit donations from California residents, the California Attorney General and the California Franchise Tax Board.

 

1. If you are not in good standing, we cannot legally permit donations to be made to you through the Platform.  Accordingly, if you are not in good standing with the IRS, the California Attorney General, and the California Franchise Tax Board, we will disable the donation feature on the Platform, or if we are unable to disable such feature, will prohibit you from processing any transactions through your payment processor, until you regain your good-standing status.

 

5. Cooperation.  You shall cooperate with us to provide any information reasonably required to ensure compliance with the Act with respect to Donations received through the Platform.

 

6. Privacy.  All information submitted to the California Attorney General pursuant to the Act shall be subject to the Privacy Notice found here:  https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/media/Privacy.pdf
