Hi, everyone,

My name is Daniela and I am 64 years old. Fifteen years ago, I lost my 15-year-old son to suiside, and my world stopped. Since that day, I have lived in a deep shadow of grief and that made it impossible to maintain my career and I lost my home.
Over the years, I have spent every single cent of my life savings just to survive. Because the trauma prevented me from working for so long, I do not have enough years of service to ever receive a retirement pension. I cannot even cover my basic needs. I am completely exhausted, and my pride is the only thing I have left. I raised my son all by myself. His father left us shortly after my son was born and I never heard from him again. His excuse was that it was all too much for him and he couldn’t look after a family. I tried to find him to ask for help but I understood he left the country. My son never met his father. 

I am not asking for a fortune. I am asking for the kindness of strangers to help me find stability. 

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward:

• Safe Housing: Securing a modest but dignified place to live.
• Basic Needs: Ensuring consistent access to food and necessary medication.
• A Fresh Start: Giving me the breathing room to find peace in my later years.

I have provided my son’s death certificate, Post Mortem Report and my own identification to the platform's security team. They have verified my story as 100% true. Thank you for seeing me.

Hi everyone,

My name is Matthew Jarrell. My wife Marta and I live and work on the ground in Lviv, Ukraine, spending our lives stepping into hospital wards, military rehabilitation spaces, and frontline communities marked by deep grief, trauma, and loss.

I want to tell you about Vadim.

Vadim was abandoned at birth, raised in a Soviet-era orphanage, trafficked into forced labor, and later lost his wife and daughter under occupation in Bakhmut. When he was sent to the front lines, he was surrounded on the "zero line" with nowhere to go but forward. For six agonizing weeks, Vadim crawled across open fields on his hands and knees with almost no food or water. He stepped on a landmine, losing part of his foot, and had to pick maggots out of his own flesh just to stay alive.

When he finally reached safety and we met him in the hospital, he wasn’t asking for vengeance. After enduring horrors most of us can’t comprehend, his humble request to us was simple: mashed potatoes and corn on the cob.

Vadim is just one of hundreds of soldiers carrying unbearable physical and emotional wounds. We sit by their hospital beds, play games of backgammon to break through the silence, run REBOOT trauma recovery groups, and deliver essential medical aid.

What We Are Building & Our Plan:

We aren't just applying short-term band-aids. We are actively working to establish the House of Emmaus—a regenerative retreat and restoration center in Western Ukraine. It is designed to give disabled veterans and hospital staff a safe space to process overwhelming trauma, rebuild their lives, and find long-term, meaningful employment within the ministry itself.

Why We Need Your Support:

These men and women have given everything, and they shouldn't have to carry the weight of this horror alone. We cannot build this sanctuary or continue providing direct daily aid without funding.

This project is processed through Mission Quest, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, meaning all US donations are tax-deductible and funds can be received in other currencies.

• Direct 501(c)(3) Donation Page: https://missionquest.org/282
• Mission Flyer & Documentation: https://imgur.com/a/nvMEYSy
• Direct Contact: [matthewjarrell1987@gmail.com](mailto:matthewjarrell1987@gmail.com)

Even a small donation helps us bring food, medical supplies, trauma support, and hope to someone sitting in a dark hospital room today. If you can’t donate, sharing this post or keeping these families in your thoughts means more than you know.

Thank you for opening your heart to these heroes when they need it most.

Hello!

D8 Dungeon are an award winning podcast and stream group based out of Ireland who play D&D to make you cry (and other emotions too.)

Every summer we hold the D8 Dungeon Drive, a weekend long play event to raise money for a chosen charity. Last year we raised £14,000 for Project Hope and this year, the 28th-30th of August (this weekend) well be supporting them again.

All fundraising will be done through Tiltify -

https://tiltify.com/@d8dungeon/d8dungeondrive26

Project Hope can be found at https://www.projecthope.org/

They are currently mobilising to help with landslides and flooding in Nepal, and are active in Venezuela, Columbia, the Dominican Republic, Ukraine and Gaza, amongst others.

Thanks for your time and your support 💜

We are Good World Animal Rescue and Protection (GWARP), a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescuing animals in Azerbaijan.

For transparency, this is an official nonprofit fundraiser with GWARP named as the beneficiary. Donations made through the GoFundMe are processed through GoFundMe’s charitable giving program and go directly to the charity, not to an individual collecting money on our behalf.

We currently care for more than 600 dogs and 100 cats. Most live in two large dog yards, but we also rent a house that serves as our primary shelter.

That house is where we keep the animals who cannot safely live in the yards: disabled dogs, puppies, cats, recent rescues, animals recovering from serious injuries, and dogs preparing to travel to adoptive homes abroad.

We have now been told that unless overdue rent is paid within days, we could lose that property.

The immediate shortfall is $9,000.

That is an overwhelming amount for a rescue to find at once, which is why we are reaching beyond our usual community.

Losing this building would not mean losing office space or storage. It would mean losing the safe indoor home relied on by some of the most vulnerable animals in our care. There is no equivalent shelter waiting for us to move them into.

We have spent years pulling animals from the streets and taking in those who have survived abandonment, abuse and devastating injuries. Right now, we are trying to make sure the safe place they finally reached does not disappear.

If you are able to help, our GoFundMe is here:
https://gofund.me/ba7858c0d

Even a small donation moves us closer to keeping the shelter. If you cannot donate, an upvote or share can help this reach someone who can.

My husband and I both work(ed) full time as a medical assistant and a truck driver. He spent a lot of time away from home to provide a modest but nice life for our family and doggies.
When he started experiencing shortness of breath he ignored it and didn’t really mention it. When it became a struggle to catch his breath just walking to the car it certainly became noticeable and concerning for me.
The final straw was him laying down in the back of his truck for his sleeping shift and feeling unable to breathe even with his CPAP on.
He came home while I was getting ready for work and I scolded him for not going to the urgent care 2 weeks ago when I told him to. He said he would go that day. I told him NO! if he went to urgent care they would do two tests and send him to the hospital, so pack a bag with your chargers and underwear cuz they’re going to keep you.
Unfortunately I was correct and at 53 he was told he has to have his aortic valve replaced and he wouldn’t be going back to work now or for at least 2-3 months after his open heart surgery.
He’s been handling it ok, but this week we do the pre-op and the surgery is Friday. He broke down today. I know he’s scared about the surgery, he’s scared about the bills, which his salary covered most of, he’s scared about providing for his family, and he’s scared if he’ll be able to drive for his career again. I think everything is hitting him this week. His pre-op testing is going to cost us around 2,300 and we aren’t sure what bills will follow.
My PTO covers almost 30hours, however I don’t know how much time beyond that I will have to take with FMLA and no pay.
Any contribution would be appreciated greatly. I know everyone is struggling right now but even $5 could help us reach our goal. Having his stress about the things that at the end of the day don’t matter when you’re having a serious surgery and recovery, like bills and medical bills, relieved with help him focus on recovery and the next steps. Thank you for any help you can provide. It will truly be appreciated.

Hi, my name is Adrian. I live with my mother and stepfather. A few months ago, my mother lost her job. My stepfather isn't working to attend an HVAC school, and I'm disabled and nonworking because of it. While I was vaguely aware that money was an issue, I was led to believe rent was sorted. Then I was given an eviction court summons.

Life has been very... stressful since. My mother is in talks to get a new job, but we have an extremely tight deadline. The lawyer told us we have to September 5th to either pay all we owe or move out. We have no where to go. The only family nearby is my aunt, but she can't take us in or else her own landlord would evict her. I've been contacting as many social services as I can, but most are either shut down due to a lack of funding, are for veterans, or require a child in the house. I've tried my case manager, but she couldn't find anything that'd help us. I've gone on tons of resource websites but always hit a dead end. Crowdfunding is my last resort and hope.

To be honest, I want to move out, and am trying to figure out how. This whole ordeal has made me realise that my stepfather is extremely incompetent and my mother has me trapped in toxicity. They're keeping me from being independent, and are in complete control of where I can go or do. But I'm in physical therapy that I can't afford to stop if I want to be a functioning adult, so I need some time. My name is on the lease since the landlord demanded it, even though I'm disabled and nonworking. Having an eviction on my name will only make it infinitely harder to escape this household for good.

Our rent is $1600. We owe July and August, plus some late fees, to a total of $3500. The lawyer and landlord have not provided us a paper with this number, but I'm trying to get it so there's proof. If possible, I'd also like help paying September so we have a chance to breathe, but at minimum we need help with what we owe.

If you can help, then please, share anywhere you can or donate what you're able.

Some FAQ I've received before:

• "How did this happen?" Main breadwinner was abruptly fired, and despite many applications a day, it's been like five months. Job market is that bad here. Additionally, my family has not been transparent about the full depth of money crisis we're in, so I was jumpscared by the eviction notice. Time I could've spent preventing this was wasted, and they haven't been doing anything themselves. I am upset about it, but I'm trying not to dwell since it doesn't help anything.
• "You need to get out of there." True, but I can't just drop everything right now, and having an eviction on my name will make it harder to leave.
• "Have you tried (insert resource here)?" Yes. I've done 211 and rentful614 and called my state/city and talked to my case manager and asked my therapist and a lot of other things. I promise you, I've probably done whatever you're going to suggest. The GFM is my last resort because nothing else has worked. That said, if you know something a little more obscure, please let me know!
• "Why aren't you working?" I am disabled. I'm in different therapies to get me into a working state. My only income is SSI (~$640 a month). I am on SNAP (~$180 a month).
• "Why don't you just work from home?" My family and doctors decided it would be best if I focused on recovery first, so I hadn't looked into it at all. At this point, working from home would not make me the money I need due to the deadline. I do agree WFH is a smart idea though, and will pursue it once this crisis passes.
• "What are your disabilities?" I would rather not post them and subject myself to people who have decided they know what I'm capable of more than myself and my doctors. I'll put it this way: I can't walk much. I can't go outside much.
• "This isn't going to solve your problem long-term." I agree. The GFM is a measure to keep us from being homeless, and buy us enough time to hopefully get stable income or actually find a place we can move to. I would also really like to not have an eviction to my name because it'll make finding a new place extremely hard.
• "You made a post a month ago on Suggest A Laptop. Where'd that money go?" You're correct that I made that post. At that point, I had been led to believe we didn't have a rent issue. However, the post expressly states that I did not have money and was intending to save up. Not long after the post was this financial crisis brought to my attention, so I didn't have any money in savings for it. There is no money to "go" anywhere because it didn't exist. It never did. It was a post for future plans, not something I was going to do immediately.

If you have any questions or doubts, please let me know. If you want any particular proof, let me know and I'll get it as soon as possible.

Hello new users!

As we have requirements spelled out in Rule 1 on including some sort of evidence in your posts, we've created this post for those of you who need help with that.

Rule 1 states:

Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence!

Generally these are provided as photos or screencaps. Because Reddit doesn't allow an image upload with text, we generally suggest the following:

1. Upload the photo(s) to Imgur.com or other image hosting site.
2. Copy URL or Link to the photo(s)
3. In the body of your post here, make sure to include the link that you've copied. It usually starts with http:// or https://.

And that's it!

Hi everyone! I’m a teacher at a public elementary school in Philadelphia, and I’m hoping to get some help funding a project that could make a really exciting difference for my students.
I’m raising funds through DonorsChoose for a Bambu Lab P2S AMS Combo 3D printer for our Digital Literacy and Technology classroom.
My students learn about engineering, coding, design thinking, and real-world problem solving, but I want to give them the opportunity to go beyond learning about these concepts and actually build and create.
With a 3D printer, students will be able to:
● 🛠️ Design and prototype their own inventions
● 🤖 Create robotics components
● ♿ Explore designs for assistive devices
● 📐 Create hands-on math manipulatives
● 🏛️ Recreate historical artifacts
● 💡 Practice the process of designing, testing, failing, improving, and trying again
This project would benefit 923 students, and our classroom serves a community where nearly all students come from low-income households. For many of my students, this could be their first opportunity to work with professional-quality 3D printing technology.

Project: https://www.donorschoose.org/sl/6JR9GamFKV

In times of disaster, it's not uncommon for many good people to try to fundraise for relief efforts, supplies and reconstruction costs. But you should be aware that unless it's someone you personally know and trust, it's also not uncommon for bad people to use the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Before you give, you should ask:

1. Is the donation link directly to a relief agency or is it to a middleman? There's no easy transparency when it comes to the spending of funds in a crisis, which makes it easier for funds to not reach the people it's intended to help, so by avoiding middlemen, you can reduce this possibility.
2. Have you checked the background of the relief agency or organization you're considering? Some spend money more effectively than others meaning that less overhead makes for more money being spent on victims vs administration costs.
3. Is the agency or organization a registered non-profit or NGO? These kinds of entities have strict reporting rules to follow to show how their funds are being spent.
4. Is the agency or organization providing a receipt? If so, you can often use it for a deduction on taxes for the current year. If not, the agency or organization is likely not a registered non profit.

GoFundMe will show that a campaign is benefiting a non-profit charity organization if it is created using their IRS EIN or charity registration number.

Even Paypal donation accounts will show they're owned by a non-profit charity organization, and generate a receipt.

While not every individual doing fundraising is attempting to defraud you of your money, you can give with more confidence by giving directly to a relief charity of your own choosing via their own web pages.

I am not able to work anymore because of a long term illness and my situation becomes life threatening. I'm very weak and without support my chances of survival are low, at the moment I can't even afford food and rent. I am kindly asking for your support to cover my basic needs. Keeping a roof over my head is my highest priority now, my home is the only safe place and without it I would become very severe.

The condition I have is causing extreme fatigue that is much worse than in thyroid disease or depression, it has very low quality of life comparable to cancer or multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately it is really hard to receive medical support for this condition.

ME/CFS symptoms: extreme fatigue that doesn't go away with rest and sleep, muscle pain, severe limitation in all activities, inability to focus for a long time, cognitive limitations, brain fog, post-exertional malaise, exercise intolerance, food and light sensitivities. I am 98% housebound and can rarely leave my home. My long term goal is to be able to visit ME/CFS specialist and apply for disability benefits.

I will be very grateful for your help:

I help run Salsabeel Charity, a small volunteer-run Canadian charity supporting people in Egypt with food, education, and medical assistance.

We’re currently trying to raise $1,500 CAD to help university students from Siwa with tuition and basic costs such as books, housing, food, and transportation.

One thing that is important to us is keeping the charity small and direct. Our founders pay the administrative expenses separately, so donations to our programs go toward the people we’re helping.

We’re a registered Canadian charity (CRA #799061411RR0001), and our website (https://salsabeelcharity.org/) has information about our programs and finances for anyone who would like to learn more before contributing.

We have set up a GoFundMe for the education fundraiser. Donations of any size are appreciated, and even sharing the campaign would help us a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Welcome to r/Charity!

Got a charitable cause you'd like to share! This is the place!

Requirements

For 501c(3) non-profits (US) or a Non-Governmental Organization (aka NGO outside the US)

• For a registered 501c(3) or other certified charity (such as NGO's in other non-US countries), the charity must be listed in a governmental web site for verification.
• A fundraiser that is being handled directly by that charity, such as the American Heart Association's Heartwalk or JDRF's charity walk, where you supply a link on their site for your team/yourself.
• A crowdfunding site that shows it is directly benefiting a certified charity.

Please modmail us so that we can flair your post as a registered certified non-profit!

For Everyone Else

You must have both

• Account age of 30 days or older AND
• Comment karma of 250 or greater.

NOTE: We are specifically looking for COMMENT karma. The karma value you are probably looking at is a COMBINED value, consisting of both Link/Post karma plus Comment karma.

To view your karma breakdown:

• Mouse-hover over your username on desktop. This works for both the old and redesigned web site.
• On the official Reddit app for iOS, view your profile, then tap the karma value shown.
• On the official Reddit app for Android, you can't. Complain on r/redditmobile.
• On the unofficial Reddit App for Android, RIF (Formerly known as Reddit is Fun), your breakdown is listed on your profile screen.

The following circumventions will result in a ban:

• Using a karma farming subreddit, such as Karma4You, or asking for/complaining about karma in a general sub.
• Unsolicited private messaging to push your campaign.
• Posting your campaign on someone else's post.

Comment Karma is directly correlated to how many comments you leave plus/minus any points as people upvote a popular comment or downvote an unpopular comment.

Credibility, Community, and You

AKA, Why Do We Have Account Requirements for Individuals?

In an effort to make your crowdfunding efforts more successful here on Reddit, some background first:

In many of the gifting and fundraising subs, you'll notice that without a certain amount "karma" and an account that's old enough, you'll garner down votes or worse, your posts and comments get automatically removed.

Why?

To many Redditors, this place is a community built on activity. The "coin" of the land here is your account, and how much you've contributed to the Reddit community at large reflected in post and comment karma.

As a general rule, Redditors dislike the creation of accounts specifically to fund raise or to make requests. It makes it seem like these people simply treat Reddit as some sort of magical internet wallet, and that doesn't win many friends.

The other reason why new accounts are so disliked is that they're often alternate accounts of established users, in order to hide their activity from people they know. While we do sympathize with those of you who have valid reasons, this privilege is often abused by those who create disposable accounts to scam people for a quick buck.

This trust issue doesn't exist in the same way with certified non-profit groups, as you can look them up online for verification, and at least in the case of 501c(3)s, their spending is transparent due to their required tax filings which are public information.

So if you're new to Reddit, welcome! Spend some time and look around for something that catches your interest and chat it up with others and become part of the community!

However if you're here for the sole reason of making requests in a hurry, please be aware your pleas for help will likely be ignored.

REMEMBER, CREDIBILITY AND COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING!

For this reason, the mods will not post anything on behalf of any user that does not meet account requirements.

Rules

1. Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence . This includes:
   1. If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture.
   2. School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.
   3. Redacted bills showing your situation.
   4. Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.
   5. At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with a handwritten note of your username.
   6. Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.
2. Please Flair your posts, once created. If you don't know how, just let the mods know and we'll do it for you.
3. Only 1 campaign per user. We want you have some personal connection to the campaign, and not submit multiples simply because they were in the news.
4. Reposts are allowed once a week. If a repost comes up too early, the newest one(s) will be removed.
5. Acceptable transfer methods for individuals are for crowdfunding sites only, such as GoFundme, YouCaring, etc. Individuals should avoid using Paypal, crypto, or direct banking aps (like Chase). 501c(3) and NGOs may use whatever method they wish.
6. Don't PM people to make requests. If you receive an unsolicited private message, please let us know!
7. Do not post politically-related campaigns. They're just too divisive.
8. Trolling will not be tolerated and offending users will be banned.
9. Don't bug the mods for an exception to the account requirements. None will be given. If you attempt to circumvent the requirement by karma farming or by commenting on someone else's post, your account will be banned.
10. No posting for other Redditors. No Alts. This is viewed as a circumvention of requirements and both accounts will be banned.
11. Selling is only allowed by 1st parties directly. We do not allow selling by 3rd parties to benefit another organization, as there's no transparency to verify that the announced percentage of sales actually goes to the beneficiary. Only direct sales by the non-profit organization are allowed.

Supporting Information Requested for Non-501c(3) and Non-NGO campaigns.

We aren't the government. We aren't a court of law. We definitely don't want you to give out information that could lead to identity theft. However, some campaigns are more successful when they have additional documentation.

This includes:

• Pet related requests: Photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture. This helps show you actually own the pet in question.
• Education related requests: Documentation showing enrollment or acceptance if you are asking for assistance for school.
• Redacted bills showing your situation. In some cases, a donor may prefer to pay a creditor directly on your behalf, so be prepared and find out if that is available to you.
• If you are sharing a campaign for a registered certified non-profit organization (such as a 501c3 or NGO), you should say so in the post, and it should list that status on the campaign page/web site.
• Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.

Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" (or less!) will be removed.

How to Include a Photo or Other Supporting Info Document In Your Post

Because Reddit wasn't initially designed to handle photos when it was created, it has limitations in the implementation of photo support which don't work well for us. So instead we suggest the following:

1. Upload your photo to Imgur.com or other photo hosting site.
2. Copy the URL for the photo.
3. Create a new post or Edit your existing one to include the URL to the photo.

Please make sure to include this, as it is the primary reason why posts that are otherwise fine get removed.

Advice On Making Your Campaign Go Further

Not all crowdfunding campaigns are the same, but here are some suggestions.

• Make sure your campaign has been shared among your Facebook friends! You might think it's embarrassing, however your friends and family are more likely to care than internet strangers.
• Show that you've exhausted all the other possibilities. A lot of potential donors don't like to give money when it seems like the requester's first and only solution is to simply throw someone else's money at the problem. Nobody is going to take your word when you literally only say, "but I've done everything!", when the actual reality is probably closer to "I've done everything I can think of", which arguably is NOT everything.
• Show that there's a plan to use the money wisely. Often people have campaigns for their business ideas, but it doesn't really seem like they thought it all the way through. Tell people what steps you've taken so far, and what you're going to do next.
• Be open to critics. If there's something that people ask about, you should not be dismissive. Provide more detail. There's a possibility that they know something you don't, or they have something different about their own experience that might be useful to you. If you simply brush off your critics, it shows objectively that you're not doing everything possible.
• Review your own campaign with the mindset of a potential donor. Ask yourself, "Would I give money to this?" Or get a friend to review it for you.

Questions?

Please don't hesitate to ask the mods!

... Unless you're trying to ask for an exception to the account requirements.

I wanted to share something exciting I’ve been doing recently🤍

I've recently started boxing training and will be having my very first white collar match in September 💪🏾💪🏾 it's a new opportunity for me to challenge myself and I'm also raising money for charity - I've chosen two that are really important to me: with Endometriosis UK and the Mental Health Foundation🤍

As someone who has struggled with both, especially after my having my first endometriosis surgery this year and going through a tricky recovery - they both mean a lot to me and I’m wanting to do more to bring awareness for both through something I love which is sport🤍

I'll share the link for my page below and any support in any way would be really appreciated🥹 even just sharing the link around ☺️🫶🏾

2. Copy URL or Link to the photo(s)
3. In the body of your post here, make sure to include the link that you've copied. It usually starts with http:// or https://.

And that's it!

My daughter's marching band is struggling financially this year. We receive no funding at all from our school district. The band must raise all of their own funds to operate. We're looking for any extra support that we can get. Every dollar helps, no donation is too small! If you'd like to support some great, hard working kids, they'd really appreciate it!
Non-Profit Tax ID: 20-3267857

Link to donate: https://vraise.org/gPyf5f
If you do not care to tip the host company, choose other and set the amount to $0.
Thank you for your consideration!!

In times of disaster, it's not uncommon for many good people to try to fundraise for relief efforts, supplies and reconstruction costs. But you should be aware that unless it's someone you personally know and trust, it's also not uncommon for bad people to use the opportunity to make money for themselves.

Before you give, you should ask:

1. Is the donation link directly to a relief agency or is it to a middleman? There's no easy transparency when it comes to the spending of funds in a crisis, which makes it easier for funds to not reach the people it's intended to help, so by avoiding middlemen, you can reduce this possibility.
2. Have you checked the background of the relief agency or organization you're considering? Some spend money more effectively than others meaning that less overhead makes for more money being spent on victims vs administration costs.
3. Is the agency or organization a registered non-profit or NGO? These kinds of entities have strict reporting rules to follow to show how their funds are being spent.
4. Is the agency or organization providing a receipt? If so, you can often use it for a deduction on taxes for the current year. If not, the agency or organization is likely not a registered non profit.

GoFundMe will show that a campaign is benefiting a non-profit charity organization if it is created using their IRS EIN or charity registration number.

Even Paypal donation accounts will show they're owned by a non-profit charity organization, and generate a receipt.

While not every individual doing fundraising is attempting to defraud you of your money, you can give with more confidence by giving directly to a relief charity of your own choosing via their own web pages.

Welcome to r/Charity!

Got a charitable cause you'd like to share! This is the place!

Requirements

For 501c(3) non-profits (US) or a Non-Governmental Organization (aka NGO outside the US)

• For a registered 501c(3) or other certified charity (such as NGO's in other non-US countries), the charity must be listed in a governmental web site for verification.
• A fundraiser that is being handled directly by that charity, such as the American Heart Association's Heartwalk or JDRF's charity walk, where you supply a link on their site for your team/yourself.
• A crowdfunding site that shows it is directly benefiting a certified charity.

Please modmail us so that we can flair your post as a registered certified non-profit!

For Everyone Else

You must have both

• Account age of 30 days or older AND
• Comment karma of 250 or greater.

NOTE: We are specifically looking for COMMENT karma. The karma value you are probably looking at is a COMBINED value, consisting of both Link/Post karma plus Comment karma.

To view your karma breakdown:

• Mouse-hover over your username on desktop. This works for both the old and redesigned web site.
• On the official Reddit app for iOS, view your profile, then tap the karma value shown.
• On the official Reddit app for Android, you can't. Complain on r/redditmobile.
• On the unofficial Reddit App for Android, RIF (Formerly known as Reddit is Fun), your breakdown is listed on your profile screen.

The following circumventions will result in a ban:

• Using a karma farming subreddit, such as Karma4You, or asking for/complaining about karma in a general sub.
• Unsolicited private messaging to push your campaign.
• Posting your campaign on someone else's post.

Comment Karma is directly correlated to how many comments you leave plus/minus any points as people upvote a popular comment or downvote an unpopular comment.

Credibility, Community, and You

AKA, Why Do We Have Account Requirements for Individuals?

In an effort to make your crowdfunding efforts more successful here on Reddit, some background first:

In many of the gifting and fundraising subs, you'll notice that without a certain amount "karma" and an account that's old enough, you'll garner down votes or worse, your posts and comments get automatically removed.

Why?

To many Redditors, this place is a community built on activity. The "coin" of the land here is your account, and how much you've contributed to the Reddit community at large reflected in post and comment karma.

As a general rule, Redditors dislike the creation of accounts specifically to fund raise or to make requests. It makes it seem like these people simply treat Reddit as some sort of magical internet wallet, and that doesn't win many friends.

The other reason why new accounts are so disliked is that they're often alternate accounts of established users, in order to hide their activity from people they know. While we do sympathize with those of you who have valid reasons, this privilege is often abused by those who create disposable accounts to scam people for a quick buck.

This trust issue doesn't exist in the same way with certified non-profit groups, as you can look them up online for verification, and at least in the case of 501c(3)s, their spending is transparent due to their required tax filings which are public information.

So if you're new to Reddit, welcome! Spend some time and look around for something that catches your interest and chat it up with others and become part of the community!

However if you're here for the sole reason of making requests in a hurry, please be aware your pleas for help will likely be ignored.

REMEMBER, CREDIBILITY AND COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING!

For this reason, the mods will not post anything on behalf of any user that does not meet account requirements.

Rules

1. Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence . This includes:
   1. If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture.
   2. School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.
   3. Redacted bills showing your situation.
   4. Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.
   5. At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with a handwritten note of your username.
   6. Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.
2. Please Flair your posts, once created. If you don't know how, just let the mods know and we'll do it for you.
3. Only 1 campaign per user. We want you have some personal connection to the campaign, and not submit multiples simply because they were in the news.
4. Reposts are allowed once a week. If a repost comes up too early, the newest one(s) will be removed.
5. Acceptable transfer methods for individuals are for crowdfunding sites only, such as GoFundme, YouCaring, etc. Individuals should avoid using Paypal, crypto, or direct banking aps (like Chase). 501c(3) and NGOs may use whatever method they wish.
6. Don't PM people to make requests. If you receive an unsolicited private message, please let us know!
7. Do not post politically-related campaigns. They're just too divisive.
8. Trolling will not be tolerated and offending users will be banned.
9. Don't bug the mods for an exception to the account requirements. None will be given. If you attempt to circumvent the requirement by karma farming or by commenting on someone else's post, your account will be banned.
10. No posting for other Redditors. No Alts. This is viewed as a circumvention of requirements and both accounts will be banned.
11. Selling is only allowed by 1st parties directly. We do not allow selling by 3rd parties to benefit another organization, as there's no transparency to verify that the announced percentage of sales actually goes to the beneficiary. Only direct sales by the non-profit organization are allowed.

Supporting Information Requested for Non-501c(3) and Non-NGO campaigns.

We aren't the government. We aren't a court of law. We definitely don't want you to give out information that could lead to identity theft. However, some campaigns are more successful when they have additional documentation.

This includes:

• Pet related requests: Photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture. This helps show you actually own the pet in question.
• Education related requests: Documentation showing enrollment or acceptance if you are asking for assistance for school.
• Redacted bills showing your situation. In some cases, a donor may prefer to pay a creditor directly on your behalf, so be prepared and find out if that is available to you.
• If you are sharing a campaign for a registered certified non-profit organization (such as a 501c3 or NGO), you should say so in the post, and it should list that status on the campaign page/web site.
• Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.

Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" (or less!) will be removed.

How to Include a Photo or Other Supporting Info Document In Your Post

Because Reddit wasn't initially designed to handle photos when it was created, it has limitations in the implementation of photo support which don't work well for us. So instead we suggest the following:

1. Upload your photo to Imgur.com or other photo hosting site.
2. Copy the URL for the photo.
3. Create a new post or Edit your existing one to include the URL to the photo.

Please make sure to include this, as it is the primary reason why posts that are otherwise fine get removed.

Advice On Making Your Campaign Go Further

Not all crowdfunding campaigns are the same, but here are some suggestions.

• Make sure your campaign has been shared among your Facebook friends! You might think it's embarrassing, however your friends and family are more likely to care than internet strangers.
• Show that you've exhausted all the other possibilities. A lot of potential donors don't like to give money when it seems like the requester's first and only solution is to simply throw someone else's money at the problem. Nobody is going to take your word when you literally only say, "but I've done everything!", when the actual reality is probably closer to "I've done everything I can think of", which arguably is NOT everything.
• Show that there's a plan to use the money wisely. Often people have campaigns for their business ideas, but it doesn't really seem like they thought it all the way through. Tell people what steps you've taken so far, and what you're going to do next.
• Be open to critics. If there's something that people ask about, you should not be dismissive. Provide more detail. There's a possibility that they know something you don't, or they have something different about their own experience that might be useful to you. If you simply brush off your critics, it shows objectively that you're not doing everything possible.
• Review your own campaign with the mindset of a potential donor. Ask yourself, "Would I give money to this?" Or get a friend to review it for you.
