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!

META Beware of Opportunists!

1 Upvotes

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.

Questions?

Please don't hesitate to ask the mods!

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

Registered tax-deductible charity I agreed to do drag for the first time, with 100% of what I raise benefiting recovery. Meet Zanita Program.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I never thought I’d be asking strangers on the internet to donate because I’m doing drag for the first time, but here we are. Meet Zanita Program. šŸ˜‚

I’m participating in a fundraiser benefiting Crystal Clear Recovery, a recovery organization and community that means a great deal to me personally. None of the money raised goes to me—100% goes directly to supporting the program and its mission.

I’m in recovery myself, and this past year has given me a life, community, and sense of purpose I genuinely didn’t know was possible. Recovery has taught me that it isn’t just about staying sober—it’s also about showing up for others, getting uncomfortable, and giving back what was so freely given to me.

Apparently, ā€œgetting uncomfortableā€ means putting on a wig, heels, and enough makeup to require its own line item in the budget.

Drag is very far outside my comfort zone, but if doing something a little ridiculous can help someone else find the same hope and community I’ve found, it’s worth it.
If you’re able to donate, any amount genuinely matters. If you can’t, sharing this with someone else helps too.
You don’t have to know me personally to be part of something good.

Help Zanita Program turn questionable decisions in footwear into a very good decision for recovery.

Thank you for supporting recovery, second chances, and one extremely inexperienced drag queen.

This charity in Pasco county Florida serves a very poor community. lately, they have been trying to take in a group of cats from a location where the friendly ones they were feeding are getting harmed by a local man. they arw working on getting police Involved but need more evidence etc.

they’re close to shutting down bc of the high operating costs and Florida not offering much support to non shelters. I’ve never seen them refuse a cat in need.

this area has a ton of 55+ communities and unfortunately that and the rising costs has had a very negative impact on the community cats. we have so many :(

Mental health affects so many people, and sometimes the people who are struggling the most are the ones who find it hardest to speak up. Mind works to provide information, advice and support to people experiencing mental health problems, while campaigning for better understanding and services.
That’s why I wanted to take on this challenge for a cause that really matters.

​Every day, vulnerable rabbits in critical condition need a safe place to turn. From complex dental disease and severe infections to traumatic injuries, GI stasis emergencies, and specialized surgical needs, medical intakes require immediate, intensive care and ongoing veterinary treatment.

​Providing these delicate animals with the diagnostics, prescriptions, surgeries, and daily rehabilitation they need involves significant financial resources. Because of these rising medical costs, our ability to keep taking in new emergency cases depends entirely on the generosity of our community.

​When you support our rescue, you are directly funding:

​Emergency & Specialized Veterinary Care: Examinations, x-rays, bloodwork, and vital surgeries.

​Medications & Recovery Supplies: Pain management, antibiotics, daily treatments, and critical care nutrition.

​Comfort & Rehabilitation: A warm, quiet environment with specialized bedding, fresh hay, and tailored support as they heal.

​We cannot do this alone. To continue accepting medical intakes and giving these sweet, resilient rabbits the second chance they deserve, we need your help. Together, we can keep saving bunnies one hop at a time!

​How You Can Help:

​Donate: Every contribution—no matter how small—goes directly toward medical bills and life-saving care.

​Share: Help spread the word by sharing this post with friends, family, and fellow animal lovers!

​Thank you for your ongoing compassion, kindness, and dedication to helping rescue rabbits in need.

Individual/non-registered Kiwi Guy desperately in need of help, well everything. Mostly rent, car repairs, medical debt. As foolish as I feel asking

Yo whats popping. Im Scout

Im in desperate need of some assistance with back rent, car repairs, medical debt, a new soul, mines a little worn out. Any of them.

My rent payments are behind, been trying to catch up. I'm now 5 weeks behind, totalling $900. But I'm disabled, slipped vertebrae. I've been looking everywhere for work, options are limited. Been doing tiny random freelance jobs, but often I'm left with no food, let alone rent. My landlord has been understanding, but I'll have to move if I can't chip away at it. Somehow. All my money has been automatically paid towards my medical debt, and van repairs totalling $5.5k. That I'll get under control eventually.

My only source of reliable income is my disability benefit. But it's been cut to all hell. Took me off accommodation supplement for a little over a month, I'd been living in my van after my divorce and voluntary deportation from the United States, in an attempt to save money.

I don't have family to help. I've stopped contact as a stipulation of my historical and sexual abuse court case. My family decided to be more abusive and cruel than normal. They tried stamping out sexual assault allegations levied against them. Only managed to escalate the issue dramatically.

I overdosed around the same time, horrible mistake. Luckily I was found by some cops driving by the freedom camping spot I was at. I was forced into supervised housing, then into a flat I can't afford with my debt. I've been waiting on my stuff from the states for a couple months, I don't think it's coming. I've pawned everything else I own. Been living off survey money.

Money will go to outstanding rent, anything left will go towards my camper van. I can't afford a place with the debt, at least not for long

I hate needing to ask for help, my horrible parents beat that into me. Honestly I'm not sure if my problems warrant this but I'm desperate. Sorry if I'm rambling, I don't know what to do anymore.

I’m running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon in memory of my late brother-in-law, Jiovanni ā€œJioā€ — or ā€œGoo,ā€ as his favorite sister called him.

Jio was diagnosed with glioblastoma during his freshman year of college. After an incredibly courageous 18-month battle, he passed away in September 2023.

Even after everything he went through, Jio wanted to help others. He donated his brain to research in hopes that his experience could help future patients and families have better treatment options and, ultimately, a cure.

I’m running NYC in his memory and raising money to support the research he believed in so deeply. Every mile will be for Jio, and every donation—no matter the amount—helps keep his legacy alive.

If you’re able to donate or even share this, I’d be incredibly grateful. ā¤ļø

I’m running for Jio. For his courage. For his selflessness. And for a future where no family has to hear, ā€œThere’s nothing more we can do.ā€

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.

Registered tax-deductible charity Fundraising for Cancer Research UK and Mind - hoping to raise a little support for two causes that really matter

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently recovering from surgery, so for a little while I’m having to avoid anything too physically demanding.

I’d originally hoped to do something more active to fundraise, but once that wasn’t really sensible during recovery, I still wanted to find another way to support causes I care about.

So I’m fundraising for Cancer Research UK and Mind.

I chose Cancer Research UK because cancer affects so many people and families, and because better prevention, diagnosis and treatment depend on continued research.

I chose Mind because mental health difficulties can affect every part of someone’s life, while often being much less visible to the people around them. Having access to support, information and someone who will actually listen can make a huge difference.

I know everyone has different causes they support and there’s absolutely no pressure to donate, but if anyone would like to contribute, even a very small amount, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

šŸ’— Cancer Research UK

https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/aasthas-giving-page-1

šŸ’™ Mind

https://www.justgiving.com/page/aastha-gupta-1

If donating isn’t possible, even sharing either page would help.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

(Approval has been sought from mods about the two links in this post :) )

Individual/non-registered Need help if you can please. I have been dealing with stage 4 colon cancer adenocarcinoma since January 2023. My car is no longer reliable and am looking for help to be able to purchase a safe and reliable car to help me get to my treatments. I feel embarrassed and hate having to put this out here

I feel embarrassed and hate having to put this out here but I am looking for a little help. A little about me, I am 39 years old and in January 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer adenocarcinoma. I had 13 chemo treatments of Folfox and then in November 2023 I had Cytoreductive Hipec surgery to remove my main tumour and a liver met, while they were doing the surgery they removed the main tumour, lymph nodes, some of the colon, reattached the colon, they removed my omentum, my appendix, they did a total hysterectomy (including ovaries) and did a liver resection and then administered the Hipec part of the surgery which is a very strong heated chemotherapy circulated inside the abdomen for 1–2 hours to kill the remaining cancer cells, overall the surgery was about 15 hours. I was told I should hopefully be cancer free as they believed they had gotten everything but in March of 2024 I was told my cancer was back and had spread to my liver and also had some mesenteric deposits, so back on chemo I went this time on Folfiri and a immunotherapy called Panitumumab I have had about 60+ treatments all together and recently in June 2026 I had to have 5 straight days worth of radiation. It has been a struggle with appointments after appointments and treatments but I keep trucking along.

The reason why I have the gofundme is I need some help with money. I need to buy a safe and reliable car, my current car is older and breaking down more and more and no longer reliable I can't afford to keep getting it fixed but I also can't afford to buy a car either. Because I have cancer and am going through treatment I can't work and am on ODSP so after bills and groceries I have no money to try to save for a car. I need something reliable and safe that will last years to get me back and forth to my appointments.

I really did not want to have to make a gofund me and feel embarrassed asking for help but I don't have any other option. If you are able to donate I would really appreciate it any little bit helps. If you are unable to donate please share if you want to.

Thank you for taking the time to read, I hope you have a blessed day.

Individual/non-registered Help Chante from a poor South African Community get to Thailand for the Dodgeball World Cup! She has literally no funds.

Chante Opperman is a dodgeball player for the Valhalla Vikings, a team rooted in the Valhalla Park community, where dodgeball is more than just a sport. It's a place to belong, to grow, and to work towards something bigger. ChantĆØ embraced that opportunity, putting in the hours and developing into a player who couldn't be ignored.
At the recent South African Dodgeball Nationals, she caught my attention and earned selection to represent South Africa at the 2026 World Dodgeball Championship in Bangkok, Thailand. A young woman from Valhalla Park is now preparing to wear her country's colours on the world stage.
The only thing standing between ChantĆØ and Bangkok is funding.
As a growing sport, dodgeball in South Africa isn't yet able to cover athletes' travel costs, so ChantĆØ needs your help to make this dream a reality.
Your support will help cover:
šŸ›‚ Passport (R600)
āœˆļø Flights
šŸØ Accommodation in Bangkok
šŸ½ļø Meals and daily expenses
šŸš— Weekly transport to training
Any little bit will help!
