### How to check the status of a grant

Here are the steps involved when you send a gift to a charity via Charityvest:

1. **Requested:** you have successfully filled out your grant recommendation form
2. **Funded**: you have sufficient funds in your Charityvest account to fund this grant. If you have a sufficient cash balance to fund your grant, this will be marked as completed instantly. If we need to sell securities (e.g., for Invested accounts) or clear a recent contribution in order to fund your grant, you'll see an expected clearing date below this line.
3. **Sending to charity:** the grant has been sent to your charity, either via PayPal grants via the account we have on file for that organization, or via check to the address listed on their Charityvest profile. The estimated delivery date is available once the grant has been sent.
4. **Received by charity:** the USPS reported that the check was out for delivery to the recipient charity. It can take approximately 10 business days for the check to arrive in the mail.&#x20;

   4a.  **Awaiting acceptance:** for PayPal digital grants, grants that are "awaiting acceptance" have been delivered to the PayPal account, but have not yet been "accepted" by the PayPal account administrator. If a grant expires before it is accepted, we will resend the grant (either by PayPal one more time, or by check)
5. **Deposited**: the check has been deposited by the charity. After it has been delivered, it is at the discretion of the charity to deposit the check. Based on our data, 95% of checks are deposited by recipient charities within 35 days of when they are sent.

### Employee Matching Grant Status Tracker

If your employer is subscribed to Charityvest's Workplace Giving Program and you have submitted a request to have your grant matched by them through our platform, there is an extra step involved in your grant's journey.

Once your grant is marked as funded, it will be added to the queue for your employer's approval. It will remain pending as status **Waiting for employer match** until your employer approves it in a batch, which typically occurs by the 5th of the following month. Your grant will not be sent unless it is approved for a match, in which case, both the grant and the match will be mailed together in one check.
