Kleercard

Kleercard provides expense management and credit cards for nonprofits, churches and schools, covering physical and virtual cards, receipt capture, approvals, bill pay, reimbursements, accounting sync, Amazon Business integration and sales tax refund automation, with white glove setup included.

Automating sales tax refunds is the feature that identifies the real customer and it addresses a genuinely tedious problem. Tax exempt organisations pay sales tax constantly because a volunteer at a checkout does not produce an exemption certificate, and reclaiming it means assembling receipts across hundreds of small purchases. Most organisations simply do not bother, which is a quiet recurring loss.

The use cases named show how different this is from ordinary corporate spend management. Volunteer spend controls, mission trip and travel spend, grants and restricted funds tracking, multi campus church expense management and program versus admin spend reporting are not variations on a commercial expense policy. Restricted funds in particular are a legal obligation: money given for one purpose cannot be spent on another, and proving that at audit is the point of the reporting.

Handing cards to volunteers rather than employees is the structural difficulty underneath all of this, since a volunteer has no payroll to deduct from, may serve for one weekend, and cannot reasonably be trained on an expense policy. Kleercard's virtual cards with structured approvals are a better answer than reimbursement forms. A free tier exists alongside paid plans.
