Nonprofit banking shouldn't be complicated—but for most organizations, it is. In this episode of the Benchmark Ledger Solutions podcast, founder Kimi Witherell tackles the unique financial challenges nonprofits face and introduces Crowded, the banking solution built specifically for mission-driven organizations.

The Nonprofit Banking Problem:

Common Challenges Nonprofits Face:

• Complex account opening processes with excessive documentation requirements
• High monthly fees and minimum balance requirements that drain limited resources
• Lack of features designed for nonprofit operations and donor management
• Poor integration with fundraising platforms and accounting software
• Limited access to financial tools that support grant management and program tracking
• Difficulty finding banking partners who understand nonprofit compliance needs
