# Requesting Funds & Disbursements (Model C)

## Model C fiscally sponsored projects can request disbursements of funds through the Mazlo banking platform.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to submit a disbursement request:

1. **Prepare Your Request Letter**  
   Create a document on your organization’s official letterhead specifying: 
     - **Requested Amount:** The exact dollar amount needed.
     - **Intended Use:** A brief description of how the funds will be used (e.g., operational costs, program expenses, or client services).
2. **Save as PDF**  
   Export or save your finalized request letter as a PDF file.
3. **Submit Request via Mazlo**  
     - Log in to your [Mazlo](https://mazloweb.com/login)account.
     - Click [Spend Request](https://mazloweb.com/spend_requests).
     - Upload your PDF letterhead document and submit the request.
4. **Accept Your Payment** 
     - Once approved, you will receive an email notification prompting you to select and accept your payout method (**ACH** or **Paper Check**).

### Payment Processing & Fees

| **Payout Method** | **Processing Time** | **Fee** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **ACH Direct Deposit** *(Recommended)* | 1–3 business days | **$0** *No bank fee* |
| **Paper Check** | Up to 7 business days | **$2.00** *per check* |

*Note: Processing time begins once you accept the payment notification email.*

### Important Guidelines

- **Submission Frequency:** You may submit disbursement requests as often as needed—there are no monthly submission limits or restricted request windows other than those specified in your grant agreement(s).
- **Available Balances:** Account balances and disbursements reflect the net total available **after** the administrative cost share for fiscal sponsorship has been deducted.
- **Documentation & Client Privacy:** Invoices, session dates, or notes on financial need can be attached with your request. When referencing individual clients or beneficiaries, please use **client IDs or initials** to protect confidentiality.
