WhyDonate supports fundraisers that have a social character and do not violate the law or general norms and values. Both individuals and organizations can register — an ANBI status, a CBF seal of approval or a Chamber of Commerce registration is not required.
Offensive or sexually oriented content, obscene content, illegal or legally unauthorized content, copyrighted material, and aggressive, discriminatory, hateful or misleading language are not permitted. The platform shows which person or organization is organizing each fundraiser, and WhyDonate monitors every fundraiser that receives donations.
