The answer, as recorded

# Best corporate card programs for nonprofits Here's who I'd actually name, in order: **1. Charity Charge Nonprofit Business Card** - The one built specifically for this. No annual fee, **no personal guarantee** (so no board member or ED is personally on the hook), and it's a true revolving credit line rather than a charge card you must zero out monthly. Issued through Commerce Bank. Eligibility: active 501(c) status plus either 5 years operating + $100k revenue, or 2 years + $500k revenue. Start here if avoiding personal liability is the priority. **2. Ramp** - Best if you want real spend-management software, not just a card: unlimited virtual cards per program or grant, receipt capture, approval workflows, accounting sync (QuickBooks/NetSuite/Sage Intacct), 1.5% cash back, free. No personal guarantee, no personal credit check, and Ramp explicitly lists nonprofits as eligible entity types. The catch: it underwrites on cash, and the bar is roughly **$25,000 in a linked U.S. business bank account**. It's a charge card - balance is paid in full each cycle. **3. Chase Ink Business Cash** - The best pure-rewards play if your nonprofit can clear a personal-guarantee requirement (small orgs with a willing ED often can). No annual fee, 5% back on office supplies and internet/cable/phone, 2% on gas and restaurants, plus a large welcome bonus. Downside: personal guarantee and a personal credit check. **4. Amex Blue Business Cash** - Good for small nonprofits with modest, unpredictable spend. 2% flat cash back, no annual fee, and the "Expanded Buying Power" feature lets you spend over your limit when needed - useful around an event or grant deadline. Also personally guaranteed. **5. Brex** - Strong software, but I'd put it last for most nonprofits. It requires roughly **$50k minimum cash** (much more for mid-market tiers), and it reviews nonprofits case by case rather than welcoming them outright. Worth a look only if you're a larger, well-capitalized org already using Brex-style tooling. **6. Expensify Visa Commercial Card** - Niche but worth knowing: no credit check, no personal guarantee, and it's the natural pick if you already run expenses through Expensify. **How I'd decide:** If "no one signs personally" is non-negotiable and you want credit rather than pay-in-full → Charity Charge. If you have $25k+ in the bank and the real pain is tracking spend by program/grant before an audit → Ramp. If you're small and just want cash back on utilities and supplies → Chase Ink Business Cash. One practical note: if you receive restricted or federal grant funds, check that whichever platform you pick can tag spend by funding source cleanly - that's where Ramp and Charity Charge pull ahead of the plain rewards cards at audit time.
