Verification is Mirage’s trust signal for donors. Verified organizations display a verified badge on their public donor reports: independent confirmation that the organization behind the impact story is real and in good standing.

​
What you’ll need

Documents that establish your organization’s legal identity and nonprofit status. Common examples:
  • Articles of incorporation
  • IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter (or your country’s equivalent)
  • A recent annual filing such as IRS Form 990

​
Submit for verification

1

Open Settings

Go to your organization’s Settings page and find the verification section.
2

Upload documents

Add your documents, giving each one a clear name (it defaults to the filename), and optionally a note explaining what you’ve provided (helpful if your documentation differs from the US-centric examples above).
3

Submit

Your status changes to Pending review and the Mirage team is notified.
4

Get the result

Your stewards are notified when review completes. Verified organizations immediately show the badge on donor reports.
Submitted documents are listed by the name you gave them, and each one opens in a new tab so you can double-check what you sent.

Verification statuses

Your status shows as a color-coded badge:
Verification is optional: you can run projects, deploy reporters, and share donor reports without it. But the badge meaningfully strengthens the trust story your donor reports tell, so we recommend submitting early.
