Beneficiary Policy
Who receives campaign funds
Good Cause separates the campaign storyteller from the person or organisation ultimately receiving money where appropriate.
Direct payment preferred
Where practical, funds should be paid directly to the verified beneficiary or an appropriately verified organisation rather than through an unrelated intermediary.
Bank verification
Bank-account ownership or authorised control must be confirmed to the level required by Good Cause and its payment provider.
Organisation beneficiaries
Organisations may need to provide registration, governance, authorised-person and bank evidence.
International beneficiaries
Cross-border campaigns may require enhanced checks and may be declined where sanctions, banking, fraud, legal or verification risk cannot be managed responsibly.
