How can I convert my Venmo business profile to a charity profile?
There isn’t a way to convert a Venmo business profile into a charity profile or to use your contact information on more than one Venmo account. You can create a charity profile with a new phone number and email address or contact us for help closing your current account so you can start over.
Can Venmo charity profiles be managed on the web?
No. There isn’t a way to manage your charity profile via the web. However, you can access your charity profile transaction history and statements from the web. Here’s how:
- Log into your linked personal Venmo account from a web browser

Donors will still be able to donate to your charity using a web browser.
