Getting started & payouts

What are the high-risk countries WhyDonate doesn't allow starting a fundraiser from?

For security and regulatory reasons, WhyDonate does not accept fundraisers that involve the following countries and regions. That applies both to fundraisers started from them and to fundraisers collecting donations for them.

  • Cuba
  • North Korea
  • Syria
  • Iran
  • Russia
  • Crimea (Ukraine)
  • Donetsk (Ukraine)
  • Luhansk (Ukraine)

These measures keep WhyDonate compliant with international regulations and maintain the safety and trust of our global community.

For everything else we do and do not accept, see what kind of fundraisers are allowed.
