What information do I need to create a Sowfund account?

Before creating your Sowfund account, it helps to have the following information ready to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.

  1. 1
    Personal Information. You will need your first and last name, a valid email address, and a password to create your account.
  2. 2
    Identity Verification. Sowfund partners with Stripe to verify your identity during onboarding. You may be asked to provide a government-issued ID, such as a passport or driver's license, as well as your date of birth and home address.
  3. 3
    Banking Details. You will need your banking information to set up your payout account through Stripe. This is required so that donations made to you can be transferred directly to your bank account.
  4. 4
    Proof of Ministry Activity. While not always required, providing supporting documentation during onboarding can help speed up your application review. This may include links to your ministry's social media pages, a church or organizational letter of support, or any other documentation that demonstrates your active involvement in ministry work.

Once you have gathered this information, you can begin the sign up process by visiting sowfund.org and clicking Sign Up in the navigation bar.
