A contributor makes a donation via credit card to a nonprofit organization using the Vantage Network.

The contributor receives a tracking ID associated with their donation that they can use to track how their donation is spent by the nonprofit organization, similar to tracking a package.

The nonprofit organization receives the donation in its Vantage Account and spends the donation via the Vantage Mobile Pay app.

Every purchase they make using the donation is tracked on the Vantage Network using the NEM Blockchain.  The contributor enters their tracking ID on the Vantage Network Portal to see all transactions tied to their donation and gets a report of overall campaign fund usage.

“Vantage Network is developing innovative technologies to tackle an issue that many donors have in mind when giving: ‘where is my money truly going?’ Charity Navigator is excited to collaborate with Vantage Network to highlight effective organizations doing amazing work for the world in transformative ways.”
