When setting up donations for your organization, an organization representative must provide their personal information in order for GiveGab's payment processor, Stripe, to verify them and your organization to accept donations. Once this information is saved and verified, Stripe immediately tokenizes it (strongly encrypts) and securely locks it into place so you are able to accept donations and receive transfers through the GiveGab platform. 

Because the organization representative information is tied to your organization's ability to accept donations through GiveGab, to change it you need to complete the steps outlined by Stripe that will transfer ownership of your organization's Stripe account to a new representative.
