Fundraising as a For-Profit Organization

For profit entities, such as LLCs, LLPs, and similar businesses, may be eligible to fundraise on LaunchGood for certain non-humanitarian  purposes, provided they meet our Minimum Requirements and supporting documentation requirements.

Fundraising for a Charitable Cause as a For-Profit Entity

If a for-profit organization is fundraising for a humanitarian or charitable cause, the fundraiser may need to be connected to an eligible registered charity or non-profit organization.

In these cases:

• The campaign must be linked to the charity or non-profit's LaunchGood account.
• The charity or non-profit must be the recipient of all funds raised.
• Additional verification and supporting documents may be required.
