What documentation does LaunchGood require for Key Controllers?

You will need to provide:

  • A valid ID for one Key Controller.
  • Valid IDs for two Key Controllers if the fundraiser is in the Additional Supported Countries.
  • We will look to verify the key controller’s position through available online sources. If we’re unable to confirm their role, we will reach out to request confirmation of their position within the organization.


Why are Key Controllers important?


Key Controllers help guide an organization's direction, strategy, and decision-making. Verifying their identity and role helps LaunchGood understand who is responsible for the organization and supports our due diligence and verification process.
