A few colleagues have also reported this vague “risk” language with no specifics, right around orgs with equity-focused missions. Try documenting the denial in writing and asking for the underwriting criteria they used. If they can’t produce one, that’s telling. Another suggestion is to look at mission-aligned or nonprofit-specific processors (e.g., through your community foundation or a CDFI) rather than relying on the big-name platforms right now.
