Campaign Rules & Guidelines
Who May Start a Campaign?
Individuals, families, community groups, organizations, entrepreneurs, creators, and other eligible users may submit campaigns for consideration.
Campaigns may be created for a wide range of legitimate needs and causes.
Every campaign must be truthful, lawful, and created for the purpose represented to donors.
Examples of Campaigns We Allow
Eligible campaigns may include, but are not limited to:
Personal or family financial hardship
Emergency assistance
Housing or homelessness prevention
Food and essential household needs
Utility assistance
Transportation emergencies
Education and tuition-related needs
Youth programs and enrichment
Career and workforce training
Community projects
Neighborhood improvement projects
Documentaries and independent media
Arts and cultural projects
Genealogy, history, and heritage preservation
Funeral and memorial expenses
Legal-related expenses and access-to-justice costs
Small-business and entrepreneurial projects
Disaster recovery
Senior and disability support
Sports and extracurricular activities
Community events
Nonprofit and charitable projects
Other legitimate personal or community needs approved by the platform
A person experiencing financial hardship does not have to represent an organization in order to create an eligible personal fundraising campaign.
Campaigns Must Be Truthful
Campaign Organizers must accurately describe:
Who the campaign is for
Why money is being requested
How funds are expected to be used
The relationship between the organizer and beneficiary, when applicable
Campaign Organizers may not intentionally exaggerate, fabricate, conceal, or misrepresent material information in order to obtain donations.
Proof & Verification
Nativa Alliance Community Action may request supporting information when reasonably necessary to verify a campaign.
Depending on the campaign, verification may include documents confirming identity, expenses, circumstances, ownership, organizational status, or the relationship between the Campaign Organizer and beneficiary.
The amount of verification required may vary depending on the nature of the campaign.
Prohibited Campaigns
Campaigns may not be created for:
Fraudulent or intentionally misleading purposes
Illegal activities
Scams or deceptive fundraising
Identity theft
Unauthorized use of another person’s identity
Threats, harassment, or targeted intimidation
Hate-based activity
Illegal weapons or prohibited goods
Illegal drugs or unlawful controlled substances
Human trafficking or exploitation
Sexually exploitative or unlawful adult activity
Money laundering
Ponzi schemes or similar fraudulent financial arrangements
Campaigns promising donors an investment return, ownership interest, profit, or financial security unless specifically authorized through a legally compliant program
Any activity prohibited by applicable law or the applicable payment processor
Political Campaign Fundraising
Community advocacy and civic-action projects may be considered.
However, fundraising regulated as contributions to political candidates, political committees, campaigns for public office, or other activity governed by campaign-finance laws may require separate approval and compliance procedures and may not be conducted through the general community-fundraising platform unless specifically authorized.
Responsibility of the Campaign Organizer
The Campaign Organizer is responsible for:
Providing accurate information
Obtaining permission to use photographs, names, documents, or other materials
Using funds for the purpose represented to donors
Providing accurate beneficiary information
Responding to reasonable verification requests
Keeping contact and payout information current
Complying with applicable laws and regulations
The Campaign Organizer remains responsible for statements made in the campaign.
Campaign Review
Submission of a campaign does not guarantee publication.
Nativa Alliance Community Action reserves the right to review campaigns before or after publication.
We may request changes, additional information, identification, or supporting documentation before approving or continuing to host a campaign.
Suspension or Removal
A campaign may be suspended, restricted, or removed if we reasonably believe that it:
Contains false or misleading information
Violates these guidelines
Violates applicable law
Creates a fraud or payment risk
Misuses another person’s identity or information
Generates credible complaints requiring investigation
Violates payment-processor requirements
Presents another significant platform or public-safety concern
Removal of a campaign does not automatically determine ownership of disputed funds. Funds may remain subject to payment-processor procedures, refunds, chargebacks, legal requirements, or additional review.
Donations & Campaign Goals
Unless otherwise stated for a particular campaign, reaching the stated fundraising goal is not required before eligible net proceeds may be paid out.
Campaign goals are fundraising targets and are not guarantees.
Platform Fees
Campaigns hosted through Nativa Alliance Community Action are subject to a 5% platform and hosting fee, plus applicable third-party payment-processing fees.
Campaign Organizers should review the separate Campaign Disclosure, Fees & Payouts Policy before starting a campaign.
Agreement to the Rules
By submitting a campaign, the Campaign Organizer confirms that:
The information provided is truthful
They have authority to create the campaign
They agree to these Campaign Rules & Guidelines
They agree to the Campaign Disclosure, Fees & Payouts Policy
They understand that campaigns may be reviewed, suspended, or removed for violations
Campaign Organizers may be required to check an acknowledgment box confirming agreement before a campaign is submitted or published.
