  Benevity does not publish self-serve API pricing. Access to the Giving,
  Causes, Spark, and Location Services APIs is partner-gated: a prospective
  integrator requests a demo/consultation through Benevity's sales team, and
  commercial terms (implementation fees, platform/subscription fees, and any
  per-transaction or disbursement fees) are negotiated as part of a client or
  partner agreement. There is no public price list, free tier, or credit-card
  self-signup for API credentials.
notes: >-
  Contact Benevity via https://www.benevity.com/request-a-demo for pricing.
  Existing clients typically already pay for the underlying Benevity platform
  (Spark Employee Engagement, Giving, or Community Investment products); the
  APIs extend that existing relationship rather than being sold standalone in
  most cases (the Giving API is the main exception, marketed to non-Benevity-
  platform partners such as e-commerce, banking, and rewards brands).

    The only documented path to API access. Prospective partners request a
    demo; Benevity then scopes and negotiates commercial terms, provisions
    OAuth 2.0 client credentials, and grants access to a sandbox
    (api.benevity-staging.org) before production go-live.
