Corporate Cards

Chapters, Bridges, and other programs that operate under Bridge Foundry can sign up to take advantage of our corporate cards program, which is managed through BILL Spend & Expense. These cards act like debit cards and are tied to the programs as specified in the application. They are designed to add greater flexibility and accessibility to funds for our program leaders.

Application Process

If you're a program leader and have not signed a Volunteer Agreement yet, please reach out to operations@bridgefoundry.org and we'll get you set up.

When you're ready to receive a card, complete the Card Application & Agreement form and allow up to a week for the Finance team to process this.

Card Types

Virtual Cards

After you've set up your BILL Spend & Expense account, you will automatically have the ability to create virtual cards. You can have as many of these as you'd like for your assigned budget(s) on BILL Spend & Expense.

You can find out more about the different types of virtual cards and how to manage them in this article.

Physical Cards

If you anticipate needing a physical card to make purchases, you may opt in to receive one when you fill out the application. If you opted out initially and change your mind later, you can order one through BILL Spend & Expense directly.

It takes 7-14 business days after processing the application to receive your card. You can also choose to pay $45 to expedite the the shipping to 4-6 business days. This fee will be deducted from the Chapter or Bridge fund you're operating under.

More about managing physical cards here.

Activation

Once you receive your physical card, you can activate it on the BILL Spend & Expense website or mobile app. See this BILL help page for instructions.

Use Guidelines

  • Monitor your BILL Spend & Expense budget: You can check your card and budget balances by logging into BILL Spend & Expense. The budgets on BILL Spend & Expense are set based on an estimate of how much you'll be spending on a monthly basis. This amount will never be higher than your total available funds. If you need to increase your budget, please use the "Request Funds" feature on BILL Spend & Expense or reach out to finance@bridgefoundry.org.

  • Monitor your overall funds: The balance on our master accounting spreadsheet reflects total available funds, including what is on your card. It does not indicate how much is on the card.

  • Save all receipts: All charges made on your card(s) must be reconciled on BILL Spend & Expense before the end of the month of when the expense incurred. Transaction details must also include a copy of the receipt. Failure to complete transaction details on time or any misuse of funds may result in the revocation of card privileges.
