Helping minors raise funds

It is observed that people are making a great difference on Gohelpme by raising money for causes they care about. We are providing you with some useful tips to get you started on the right track.

Age Requirements on Gohelpme:

The minimum age of the person who withdraws the funds in their bank account should be 18 years old. However, they can create an account, but will need to add beneficiary to withdraw the funds on their behalf. We suggest you write the story of the fundraiser clearly that the legal guardian or parent is managing the funds.

Fundraising for someone else's child:

If you are raising funds for a child you are not the legal guardian of, Gohelpme needs you to have permission from the minor’s legal guardian or transfer the funds directly into their trust account. You might also be asked to give proof that the minor or their guardian has received the funds that were raised on their behalf. Please acknowledge that these are the necessary measures Gohelpme takes to provide security and protection.
