Hi everyone, this is my best friend Sarka :( She doesn’t have a Reddit account herself which is why I’m making this for her. Same issue with her not having access to a bank, which is why on the fundraiser page it says she’s organizing it for me (It’s my bank that’s attached). Even though only 19, due to dental health complications she needs 4 teeth removed and replaced. This is already extremely difficult for her on its own, but she is unable to work and her family isn’t able to afford the surgery for them. She’s in extreme pain though, so we aren’t really sure what to do- all we can think to is try and humbly ask for the help of others. So if you’re able to give anything at all, it would be extremely appreciated, and if not then it would still mean a lot if you could share the page- thank you so much.

My sister has Multiple sclerosis (MS) and she is doing a MS Bike Fund Raiser with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The donations don't directly benefit her and all the incentives are paid fully by her. This is just her doing something good for a good cause while she still has the abilities to do this stuff.

Her team is called "Tired but Inspired" because in her words: "#1 symptom of MS is chronic fatigue, no matter how much sleep you get, always kinda tired, or achey tired like a cold/flu is coming on."

If you are interested in learning more, donating, or even if you could spread the word, please see the link below:

Thanks for taking your time reading this!

I hope I am not breaking any rules. I didn't think I needed to take a picture of myself since this is not for me and it is part of an actual registered organization and we are not asking to directly send us money.

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.

Please don't hesitate to ask the mods!

Hello there!

In November 2022 I had life changing surgery to lose weight and I've lost around 154 pounds / 11 stone. After finally starting to love myself I've decided to do some charity fundraising for Alzheimer's Research UK as I work in the care industry and see the impacts of it first hand.

I've already raised around £219 from a £150 target which is amazing so if anyone would like to support me that would be great!

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/robbie-phillips-1735926886

I know this is weird but I’m needing a bunch of different kinds of T-shirts due to a change in jobs.

I was just going to buy some cool prints from Amazon but would rather help some kick butt organizations. I’ll be working with kids so nothing vulgar and if it’s kid based that would be sweet!

• Click the link to get your square(s): https://superbowlpoolsite.com/contest/568426
• $500 payout per quarter
• Numbers change each quarter
• All proceeds go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. 1 in 4 FDA-approved cancer treatments in the past 10 years was developed in part by DFCI. EIN: 04-2263040
• Verification: https://danafarber.jimmyfund.org/site/TR;jsessionid=00000000.app20116a?px=2715220&pg=personal&fr_id=2320&NONCE_TOKEN=99E2DAB00636E853896902985A7683DD (I am a registered Boston Marathon runner)
• Anyone who doesn’t win will be entered in a second chance raffle drawing (1 entry per square). We have over 20 cool prizes (and counting!) from some very generous sponsors including BarkBox and Total Wine.

Best case scenario - you win $500 or a sweet prize. Worst case scenario - you donate to an awesome cause and fund cancer research. I have 74 squares left and am really trying to fill up my board. Thank you for your support! Please message me if you have any questions.

It's getting really unsafe for my family in the US right now, and we are terrified of my 6yr old siblings, (who have curlier hair and darker skin than the rest of us), being taken away despite us all being citizens. Anything you could give would be a blessing, thank you.

I am a member of the Lemont High School National Honor Society. "Lemont V. Hunger" is a meal-packing event at Lemont High School organized by students who partnered with feed6 outreach.

I am the lead fundraiser for the committee where our goal for 2025 is to pack over 125,000 meals for the community. We will be donating these meals to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Each meal costs $0.37 to make and we are looking to fundraise $50,000 to achieve our goal. This is our third year doing this event. In 2023 we packed 50,000 meals. In 2024 we packed 100,000 meals with multiple business owners receiving publicity for becoming a sponsor. Would you be interested in donating this year to help us reach our fundraising goal and make the event possible? We accept cash, a check written out to Lemont High School, or a donation on the Omella website using this https://omella.com/955yn/p/2we0i

Any donation is greatly appreciated and if you can't donate to possible share this post with others.

Thanks

Hello everyone, my name is Jola(M), and yesterday my alternator stopped functioning and turns out it's completely damaged. It started having problems about 2 weeks ago but insurance couldn't do anything about it.

For some background, I am a college student who lives paycheck to paycheck. I've had my 2012 Malibu for 5 years but this is the first major repair I've had to do, I can't afford to pay this fee, as my car is the way I commute to work and money is already tight. The proceeds would go towards the purchase and installation of the equipment. Donations are MUCH appreciated and anything helps. Thank You!

Proof that I'm me

Hello everyone! I’m posting here today to ask for your support in helping my mother get her car repaired. Recently, parts were stolen from her vehicle, leaving it undrivable. To get it fixed, she needs to cover a $500 insurance deductible, but we’re currently in a tough spot financially. Her car is essential for her to get to work, and this unexpected expense has put us in a difficult position, especially with it being the winter season.

Any contribution (including sharing it if you can’t donate) would mean everything and bring us one step closer to getting her back on the road. Thank you so much for your time.

(Please note: The beneficiary listed on the GoFundMe is not the actual recipient. The listed beneficiary is my brother, as I currently do not have a bank account. All donations will be sent to him, and he will then transfer the funds directly to our mother. Thank you for the understanding.)

If there are any questions (ones within reason), please ask them and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

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!

This includes:

* If this is for your pet, photos of your pet in question, with your username on a handwritten note in the picture.

* School documentation showing enrollment if you are asking for assistance for school.

* Redacted bills showing your situation.

* Or other relevant documentation that can help establish credibility.

* At minimum, please attach an unobstructed selfie photo of yourself(the submitter) with a handwritten note of your username.

* Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" will be removed.

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!

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’m looking to raise money for The Bungie Foundation. I try this every year because it’s near and dear to my heart. More importantly, it’s for a program called “The Little Lights”.

The Little Lights Program reduces distress and suffering in children by providing patients with fully customized, age-appropriate entertainment that allows for distraction, therapeutic play, and a sense of normalcy that is vital to creating a positive experience in an otherwise scary and stressful situation.

Their grant partnership with Child's Play, as well as their corporate partnerships with Apple and Jamf, have enabled them to provide an iPad for every appropriate patient room within a children's hospital so that a child can begin playing the moment they enter their room.

My nephew is one of these children. He’s been dealing with health issues since the day he was born. Having to get open heart surgery at just 3-months-old, to just having to get surgery again this month for Vocal cord reconstruction. If you’re willing to donate ANYTHING, here’s the link to my personal campaign that I made for the charity:

I need the community's help to support my gofundme. Please click on the link to my GoFundMe: Fundraiser by James Stent : Donate for Jemuzu’s Lawsuit to learn about my story, it would mean a lot to me guys. To give y'all a good idea, from late January to June the 20th last year, I would go through horrific abuse such as sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination towards my sexuality / gender identity / disability, bullying, toxic work environment, intimidation, coercion, manipulation, gaslighting and both negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Due to the trauma involved, today I'd be in a dissociated state where I struggle in confronting my past when it comes to recalling details to use in my lawsuit journey. This can be very disabling and challenging for me, not to mention I have other issues like Narcolepsy, Suicidal Ideation, Chronic Insomnia, Chronic Stress and more, I know it's the abusers fault whom are responsible for the harm they've put towards my being. Please consider either donating to my cause or sharing my reddit post around to the community, family, friends, spreading awareness to my case which would mean a lot to me! Thank you for taking the time to reading my post.

I was injured at work, fired, and have now been evicted in Indiana, USA, while my disability claim is still in the uncertain "hearing stage." Thankfully, I have a SNAP EBT card for food, but I often don’t have enough money for gas to get to the store.

I’ve submitted an application with the local Housing Authority and was able to get my doctor to sign an "impairment" verification form to help. However, they informed me they don’t handle disability paperwork otherwise.

Even if I had a place to move, I don’t know how I’ll manage moving my belongings due to the injuries...maybe a system of strategically placed levers and pulleys...but I digress.

While I feel other stories here, and those impacted by the California fires, deserve more attention, I’ve created a simple video documenting my current situation. I also set up a GoFundMe for the first time and included the video to share my story.

Proof it's me

^(Full disclosure: I did post this to Facebook and had 3 donations several days ago. I keep re-reading the rules and don't think it's a violation but understand if I'm mistaken. I also tried posting to Assistance but was removed due to recent inactivity(while being evicted).)

He went in for emergency back surgery and suffered a catastrophic stroke. Now that he's passed, she's lost 95% of the monthly income. She's on SSDI which pays very little and now she's trying to figure out how to keep the home they built together 10 years ago.

Thank you for looking.

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!
