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.
