Safety

How Good Cause protects fundraising integrity

Good Cause uses layered controls designed to reduce fraud, misleading campaigns and unsafe use of the platform.

Campaign review

Every campaign is reviewed before live donations are enabled.

Identity and beneficiary checks

We may require identity evidence, beneficiary consent, organisation information and bank-account evidence.

Payment controls

Payouts can be delayed or withheld while verification, disputes, fraud reviews or legal concerns are resolved.

Reporting

Users can report a campaign or donation concern for human review.

No guarantees

Verification reduces risk but cannot guarantee that every statement made by a campaign organiser is true or that every future event will occur as expected.
