Our charity is Lend for America (lendforamerica.org). We offer a platform to help college students practice microfinance in the U.S. Students raise small funds to make microloans to disadvantaged business owners in the community next to their university. We've grown from 3 campus MFIs in 2009 to 24 today and we offer several programs to help students including online toolkits, in-person training during site visits, an annual conference, and a year-long fellowship program. We were founded by and still remain within the legal structure of the Intersect Fund Corporation - tax ID #: 36-4636828. The Intersect Fund was founded by students at Rutgers University in 2008 to serve small business owners throughout New Jersey.
Please let me know what other information you may need.
As you've lightly touched upon, The Intersect Fund is the parent entity:

Hi -
The Intersect Fund was founded by students at Rutgers University back in 2009. Lend for America (LFA) was founded by students who created the Intersect Fund along with students at other universities. They created LFA to have a platform to share resources and engage in peer discussion. At the time it made sense for the Intersect Fund to house all of LFA's backend because it was much easier when LFA was getting started. LFA has a separate budget and bank account but we do not have separate financial statements.
If its easier for you to use the Intersect Fund's donation page, that's fine. Let me know, thanks!
Personally, I'm not sure what the difference would be between putting the donation page on their charity, or their parent entity's page.
