How do I select a nonprofit?
You can select any U.S. 501(c)3 public charity in good standing. When you're adding a donation card to your video, you can start typing the name of a U.S. nonprofit (e.g. "Red") into the dialogue box, which will refine the results for you to select from.
How are nonprofits paid?
The funds raised are collected and disbursed by Network for Good, a U.S. nonprofit donor advised fund, to the U.S. nonprofit you selected.
As required by the Internal Revenue Service, Network for Good has exclusive legal control over the donations once they are received. If Network for Good cannot disburse the funds to the nonprofit you selected, Network for Good will disburse the funds to an alternative qualified U.S. nonprofit.
