Donate to a nonprofit on YouTube

30/11/2019

YouTube Giving is a suite of features designed to strengthen the way creators and fans can engage in charitable giving on the platform. There are many different ways to give, including Fundraisers, Community Fundraisers, Campaign matching, and Super Chat for Good.

Some of these features are only available to a small group of select creators. These creators are helping us pilot the features. Our aim is to expand these features to more creators in the coming months.

You can contribute to U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations through participating creators’ YouTube channels. During the pilot period, the nonprofit gets 100% of your donation (YouTube covers the processing fees) when you donate.

Keep in mind that voluntary donations to nonprofits are non-refundable. Learn more about our refund policy or read our donation FAQ.
