Please do not donate if you are in a bad financial situation.
Please message the moderators with charities you might feel are a scam!
The only exceptions for the account requirements are if you are directly linking to a registered certified non-profit organization. For example, a 501c3 or NGO. Or if the fundraising site shows it's going to a registered/certified charity under the organizer's name.
The following circumventions will result in a ban:
Posts must be more than just a link to your campaign. Be descriptive! Show evidence . This includes:
Please Flair your posts, once created. If you don't know how, just let the mods know and we'll do it for you.
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.
Reposts are allowed once a week. If a repost comes up too early, the newest one(s) will be removed.
Acceptable transfer methods for individuals are for crowdfunding sites only, such as GoFundme, YouCaring, etc. Individuals should avoid using crypto, or direct banking aps (like Chase).

Would love to be able to hit my goal this year! Something I’ve been doing for about 6 years running now and slowly but surely contributing to the cause.
Any small amount you can spare is always always amazing!
I've been spamming this all over the place, trying to raise as much attention for it as i possibly can.
I'm facing my fear of heights and plan to do a bungie jump in aide of charity.
My charity of choice is Venture Scotland. They help young people to challenge not only themselves, but their mental health, by teaching them useful skills and taking them on amazing adventures.
They've changed my life, for the better, and i am incredibly grateful for their assistance, and honoured to have been chosen as a participant.
Across Scotland, charity funding has been slashed, and, unfortunately, Venture Scotland has been one of the casualties of this. Without funding, they'll be unable to offer their services as widely and readily, and i think that'd be absolutely criminal. So many more people should be able to benefit from this wonderful association, and it's sincerely heartbreaking to hear that they could suffer from this.
If you can spare anything, it'd be extraordinarily appreciated.
I'll link my sponsor page, as well as a petition to try and get the decision to cut their funding reversed.
Thank you for your time

Hello everyone! My name is Amadou Basse TOURÉ, a Senior Electronics Technician from Senegal, with a lifelong passion for technology. I live in Senegal, s'est part of Africa. Here in Senegal, accessing the proper tools and materials to innovate in embedded systems and electronics is challenging.
I’m launching a $50,000 crowdfunding campaign to build an electronics research laboratory. This lab will enable us to develop impactful solutions, design innovative projects, and share our knowledge with the next generation of engineers and inventors.
🌍 If you'd like to contribute to this dream and support the growth of technology in Senegal, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/f/appuyez-la-creation-dun-labo-delectronique-au-senegal
Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal! Thank you for your support, and please share widely! 🤝
Good evening! I am a 3rd grade math teacher in Philadelphia, PA looking for donations towards my project on DonorsChoose, a 501(c)3 charity. This project will provide math centers for my students to help them practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division while I run my small groups. I managed to get 3 pens a few weeks ago and they have loved using them so much, I know this will be a hit in our classroom. Currently donations are doubled! Therefore any donation you make will be doubled at no cost to you. We are only $93 away from funding the whole project. Thank you for reading and considering helping my kiddos. :)
I’m posting this on behalf of my cousin, who’s been in the ICU here in the Philippines after suffering a brain aneurysm. She’s been in the hospital since September 18, battling through each day on the road to recovery. It’s been almost a month, and although we’re grateful she’s showing signs of improvement, the financial burden has become overwhelming for our family.
In the Philippines, healthcare costs are incredibly high, and the system isn’t structured to support patients with comprehensive insurance like in other countries. Our family has been shouldering these expenses out of pocket, and her medical bills have already reached $36,000. Without help, we’re at serious risk of her account being suspended, which would halt her essential care.
We’ve created a GoFundMe to help with the hospital bills so that my cousin can continue to receive the critical care she needs. Any contribution, no matter how small, would be a huge support for her and our family, or even just sharing her story to reach more people.
Thank you so much for reading, and for any support you might be able to offer during this difficult time.

Hi, thanks for reading! I have no idea if this is the right sub for this but it seems like it might be.
First off I'm 18 and don't really know anything about what I'm trying to do. I just want to set up an investment account that I can use to donate dividend gains to charities of my choice. The logic is I want something that will grow in value over time while also making money that I can donate now.
I just want the simplest way to do this that is also legitimate as in I can't just decide to keep the profits for myself. I think there is probably some type of account where it's just for charity. My family uses Schwab so I prefer to use them. Also, I am not worried about any sort of tax advantage or whatever, I just want what would be best and easiest. I appreciate any general advice on the matter to get me started.
As the title says, a family member is coming off the backend of homelessness with his wife and four kids. We're trying to raise money to help them get back on their feet. As it stands, they have to start all over again, down to cutlery. It's a tough time. Even a £1 from you guys could help make the world of difference for them.
Hello world, My name is Giovanni. I am asking for help due to remarkably ridiculous circumstances caused by someone I thought was my friend. Someone recently was hiding mail from me, and little did I know I had a toll ticket that is now making it unable for me to pay for my vehicle registration. I lost my job as well from that same "friend" causing rumors that the company didn't want to deal with, so they fired me for attendance issues (gained from needing to visit my mother who was sick with cancer). In that mail that was being hidden from me was an acceptance letter for Paid Medical Leave to excuse those absences, but I didn't know until this "friend" moved out of my house and left my mail in my living room 6 months later. The company never notified me of my acceptance (not their responsibility, I suppose), and now it's too late for me to bring up the issue as the acceptance was 6 months prior to being fired. I wouldn't have been fired, I wouldn't have had a toll ticket pending, and now I don't have money to support myself.
I am asking for $500 to pay for this toll ticket and my vehicle registration as well as money for my phone bill. An opportunity for employment has been offered; however, I will not be able to begin training until Nov. 25, which would mean I wouldn't have a first paycheck until the middle of December. Currently, I have $76 in my bank account, and I am on food stamps. I'm blessed that I have a friend allowing me to stay with him and his fiancé while I get my life back on track.
More information about this "friend" can be found in the GoFundMe
They temporarily ruined my life. I want to be transparent as possible as this is very uncomfortable for me, but I desperately need help. I can't ask anyone else due to no relations with my father and my mother being in financial distress as well. I am blessed for not being homeless again as I have been on the streets or without home a couple of times, but I am hoping to avoid this excruciatingly frustrating pause in my life from getting worse.
Thank you for anyone who even read this far.

Hi all. I am here looking to raise £650 for my Cat Misty. She has two cysts that need surgery as soon as possible. One you can see in this picture. The other in on her side. My family and I are all on benefits and this came out of left field.
I love this kitty, she has been one of my best friends since I rescued her at around 10 weeks old. She has seen me through panic attacks and heartbreak. she is more than an animal. She is my family. I would do anything for her and any of my cats. Unfortunately I am struggling to even keep the lights on, let alone find hundreds of pounds for emergency vet bills. If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful.
I am collecting here - https://gofund.me/6861b63f
Anything helps. Even sharing the post. I am also streaming to raise funds for this but I am tiny so need more reach. Thank you so much for even looking at my post. Misty thanks you too.
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:
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:
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 work in a warehouse for most of the day and get paid around average salary. I usually have enough to make ends meet, but recently my rent was raised, right around the time of groceries getting higher.
I spent as little as possible on necessities until my next paycheck arrives, but I'm still short 78 USD for rent, and its due on the 31st.
Dear friends. Imagine not being able to walk freely, feeling constant pain, and watching life pass you by. This is the reality my mother, Angela, is facing. She's battling severe venous leg ulcers that have limited her mobility and prevented her from doing the things she loves. With each passing day, the pain intensifies and hope dwindles.
But we won't give up! With your help, we can provide Angela with the specialized care she needs to recover and regain her independence. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal.
Together, we can make a difference in my mother's life and show that compassion still exists. Attached is the link to our GoFundMe campaign. https://gofund.me/640f08de
Got a charitable cause you'd like to share! This is the place!
Please modmail us so that we can flair your post as a registered certified non-profit!
You must have both
To view your karma breakdown:
The following circumventions will result in a ban:
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.
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.
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:
Low effort posts that simply say to the effect of, "everything is listed in the GoFundMe" (or less!) will be removed.
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:
Please make sure to include this, as it is the primary reason why posts that are otherwise fine get removed.
Not all crowdfunding campaigns are the same, but here are some suggestions.
Please don't hesitate to ask the mods!
... Unless you're trying to ask for an exception to the account requirements.
Edit: here is the GoFundMe I just setup [GoFundMe]https://gofund.me/42130cdf
So, will try to keep this shorter since I messed up original attempt and it is not letting me copy/paste to edit out my cash app details.
On a time crunch trying to get our room secured before checkout at 11am. I will be setting up a GoFundMe in prayers of it getting traction to help us break through the barrier to get into stable housing. Our pup is recovering from a respiratory infection, so trying to avoid him having to be in the cold car for a day or two until I can sort out funds for a room again. Can keep my deposit rolled over when I extend, so it's like $92 to rebook us for the night. I have cash app and venmo, but my venmo is nearly $200 overdrawn and gave me a suspension notification, so not even sure if it is actually even usable even if I received enough to clear the balance plus for the room.
The short and long of the story is: 2021 I busted my wrist on my dominant side, severe injury that took multiple reconstructive surgeries, 2 years of physical recovery and will still be permanently limited. 2023 I lived most of the year out of state getting us prepped to relocate, well that turned out to be a scam on multiple fronts basically. Soon as I came back to finish move and get my wife and our pets they took the housing out from under us and did a bait and switch on my job position. Then after that we had our 5th wheel we lived out of for 4 years and all of our possessions stolen which made it so we had no backup option left. This landed us being displaced in a place where we had no connections and we have no family help. Don't have credit for a loan (not bad, just basically non-existent) as well as me being self-employed, we also have zero family support as both of our families are abusive and have severed ties. Then it's just been non-stop trauma for the past year basically, the biggest blow for us really was losing our beloved 17 year old cat back in August. Not being able to bring him home to where he could relax, enjoy fresh air and end his life in peaceful comfort has really been eating at me. He use to just chill on our patio area in the sun and lounge, he was an indoor cat most his life until we left NY. Instead he was cooped up in a motel room unable to enjoy the outside anymore 😭
So anyways, I will be formulating a more coherent and comprehesive GoFundMe campaign once I have us secured for the day and will add it here. Until then, if anyone is able/willing to help us with securing our room for today then you can contact me directly for the details on how to get funds to me. It would even be fine if someone could book the room directly, but might have to do that on phone with front desk in order to add the deposit. If it is a new booking online then they will require a new $50 deposit, if I just extend my in-house booking at front desk then they roll my deposit over so I don't have to do a new one.
Thanks for reading and considering helping us out ❤️ Pictures of our babies, RIP Odin furbabies
(Sadly most of our pics are on the computer that was part of stuff that was stolen, any extra if we form a successful campaign will go towards legal costs of trying to make us whole again and retrieve our property. Had so many cute pictures of them snuggling together, they were the best of friends and Odin was the alpha 😂)
Hey everyone,
we 3; my dear fiance Nadja, our 11-year-old Dachshund Louis & I are desperately seeking help.
Currently we live in a 14m²/45ft² room at my parents' apartment with them where I've spent my entire life. After 2 years of desperately searching for an apartment, which suits my medical condition, we finally found one. But we don't have the funds for the deposit as of right now, we got time until the 30.11.2024 to deposit it, if we don't, the apartment will be given to someone else.
The story: I am 28 years old, I had my spine surgery (Scheuermann's disease) postponed from when I was 16 until I was 18, due to Myocarditis and the caused risk by this during the minimum 10 hours of surgery, which eventually caused me dropping out of high school, due to spending half my youth in hospitals and rehabilitation centres.
11 years ago shortly after my 18th birthday I finally had the surgery, where parts of my spine got bolted (sideways due to the extraordinary deformation) & ribs were removed to gain entry, which serve now as intervertebral discs and placeholder/distance pin. It was planned that I'd be fully mobile at the latest 1 year post-surgery, unfortunately, everything has taken a steep way downhill since then. 11 years after the surgery, I still depend on others, in this case it's my beloved fiance, which I love with all my heart for all she's done and is still doing to this day.
The entire story is on the Gofundme page below
as I was required to post pictures of our Lord Louis in the Gofundme Reddit, I'll post them here as well.
the flash accidentally went off :(
Hey everyone, I know we’re all going through a lot right now, and there are plenty of people in tougher situations than mine. But I’m reaching out because things have gotten really difficult for my family, and I’m feeling out of options.
My husband has been battling anxiety and depression, on top of some recent health issues as well which has caused him to miss work without pay. This has hit us hard financially, and we're now behind on our bills. On top of that, we’ve faced hurricane damage in our area, and public assistance is stretched thin. Today, our car started having issues, making things even more stressful. Has it looked at today and that's another over $700 I don't have but have no choice but to find.
We don’t have family we can ask for help, and getting a loan isn't an option since it would only dig us deeper. I'm working hard to keep everything together, but we’re in need of some support to get through this rough patch. If anyone has a little to spare, it would mean the world to us. I know everyone’s struggling in some way, and I wouldn't be asking if we weren’t really in need.
If anyone has anything they can help; suggestions, jobs, leads, or they have some extra funds they could afford to send our way please feel free to reach out. I'll also leave a GoFundMe below
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I appreciate any help more than I can put into words.

I'm Jess, an American mother from Los Angeles living in Mexico City. On June 20, 2024, my ex-partner abducted our 3-month-old son, Sani, after a violent altercation. (TW: He assaulted me, destroyed my phone, changed the locks to our home, and handed Santi to an unknown person.) Since then, I've been unable to see my baby and im struggling so much in a country with no family, emotionally and financially. I just had a c-section a few months prior and was on maternity leave when he stole my baby and everything from me. Just to punish me because i wanted to leave him. I had enough.
Despite me obtaining temporary full custody, my narc ex continues to evade the law, and an amber alert has been issued for my baby’s return. Im working with lawyers here, which have completely depleted any finances I’ve been given through a go fund me my friend organized.
I'm close to getting my baby back, but I've been depleted of funds due to high legal fees, rent, and therapy due to the abduction of my baby and the narcissistic abuse ive endured from my ex and his family (enablers)
THANKFULLY after months of this hell, I’ve finally found a job, and I start in a week, and ill be a working from home single mom, but I'm in desperate need of assistance to get me through until my first paycheck in a few weeks. I’m not sure if im allowed to post my gofundme and TikTok, in case anyone is curious about our story and is in a position to help.
Thank you so so so much, and I apologize if I’ve broken any rules, I’ve never posted in a group like this.
Here is the link to the Gofundme is anyone is able to help.
And here are some news articles to verify my claims:
Fellow Redditors,
I'm broken and humbled to share my heartbreaking story, hoping you'll find it in your hearts to support my family during our darkest hour.
In 2023, a devastating workplace accident left me with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The consequences have been catastrophic:
The system failed me. Disability insurance and workers compensation turned their backs on me. Companies erased evidence to cover up the accident.
My TBI symptoms are relentless:
I've lost my identity, my livelihood, and my sense of security. My family's well-being hangs in the balance.

Hi All, this is something I always wanted to but never knew how to raise money for it. Each year Kingsisle invites gamers to participate in Extra Life, a campaign designed to people play video games to help children's miracle network. For those that don't know, children's miracle network helps to raise funds for children's hospital in the hopes of giving them a better outcome. My family has benefitted greatly from this network and I finally have a way to give back through one of my favorite games.
In honor of the games (Wizard101/Pirate101), my goal is to raise $101. Feel free to donate here! https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=543409#hospitalmodal
Thanks in advance! I figured a picture of my character would be accurate since this is being done through a game.
I have a friend that has been involved with the charity Extra Life for 9 years now. Each year he stays up for two days and plays video games to help earn money for sick kids. It takes a lot out of him and it usually doesn’t amount in much for him to donate.
I think it would be a wonderful gift if he were to surpass some lofty goals that he always sets for himself.
Like if he gets to $1000 he will wear a ridiculous costume for the stream. His loftiest goal of $3500 would result in him getting his eyebrows waxed completely off live on stream. Also trying to convince him to get a tattoo at $5000.
Let’s make it happen and help kids. You can pre-donate or tune in Nov 1 and 2nd at
Im running my first ever half marathon in support of evelina london childrens charity, any donations go straight to the charity and are appreciated - https://click.contact.justgiving.com/?qs=15638e72b37954ced5cef3745c6f46ce883344f5d9ddd26d30402cd953ca91d6fa186c329877c2f5c4b4a16bc252b4569b6309416a6c107f
