If you don't see your charity listed on GoFundMe Charity (you can check here), and you want to use our platform to raise money, please continue reading!
501(c)(3) public charities are most common, but we also support other eligible US nonprofit types as well as Canadian registered charities.
Unsupported organizations
There's a chance that your charity isn't on our platform because we don't support the following types of organizations:
- Businesses which have an EIN but not federal nonprofit status *
- Organizations whose federal nonprofit status is pending
- Canadian nonprofit organizations which are not registered charities *
- International organizations based outside of the US or Canada
If one of these describes your organization, we recommend using GoFundMe.com instead of GoFundMe Charity.
My organization is a 501c3 public charity
