*This article only applies to nonprofits in the UK, Canada, Ireland, and Australia. If you work for a nonprofit in the US, you'll claim and manage your nonprofit through GoFundMe Pro. Review this article to learn more about how to claim your nonprofit.
In order to give you administrative access to the nonprofit account you've selected, we must confirm you work for or are closely affiliated with the nonprofit, and that your role with the nonprofit allows you to make changes on behalf of the nonprofit. If your connection to the nonprofit is confirmed, you'll have full access to donor and fundraiser data.
Confirming your connection
To claim your nonprofit, you'll need to sign up for a GoFundMe Nonprofit account. Use your official nonprofit email to sign up (eg. [email protected]).
Our team will review your submitted government-issued photo ID and the email address you've used to create your GoFundMe account.
If additional information is needed, we'll contact you via email so you can submit this form to contact our team. The rest of this article will detail the information requested in this form.
Accepted documents
The following are examples of the types of documents you can attach to show you are authorized to act on behalf of the nonprofit:
- A picture of your nonprofit's government registration documents showing your name and role
- A picture of your most recent pay stub from the nonprofit
- A picture of the nonprofit's bank statement, showing your name as an authorized signer
We'll review the documents to confirm the photo ID submitted matches the name listed on the supporting documents or nonprofit website. Once our review of the documents is complete, we'll respond within 1-2 business days to confirm your full access or request additional information.
While we recommend your Fundraising Manager claim your nonprofit, here are a list of roles we can approve as the nonprofit representative on GoFundMe:
- Donor Relations
- Fundraising Chair
- Data Protection Officer
- Individual giving manager
- Community fundraisers/managers
- Digital giving manager
- Executive Director
- Board Member
- Director of Development
- Treasurer/Assistant Treasurer
- Office Manager
- President
- Trustee
- Board member
- Senior leadership members
Could not confirm your connection to nonprofit
In the event we can't confirm your connection to the nonprofit, we'll ask for additional information. If we're still unable to successfully verify your connection to the nonprofit, your GoFundMe account will be converted to an individual account. With an individual account, you can continue to fundraise on GoFundMe, but you won't have access to donor data or the permissions to act on behalf of the nonprofit.
