Inviting Someone Else to Withdraw

To raise money for someone else, you'll want to first make sure that your beneficiary is qualified to withdraw funds in the country and the currency that you signed up with.  

Beneficiary Requirements to Withdraw

To withdraw, they will need to be at least 18 years of age, located in a supported country, and capable of providing the following:

1. A bank account in your country
2. A physical address in that country
3. A phone number in that country
4. A Tax ID in that country (or driver's license number in Australia)
5. A government-issued ID

How to invite someone to withdraw

If you've finished creating your personal campaign and are ready to set up someone else to withdraw, simply click "Withdraw" on your GoFundMe dashboard to begin the set up of your withdrawals. 

If you select "Someone Else," you can enter your beneficiary’s name and email to send them a beneficiary invitation. Once they accept the invitation, they'll have sole access to withdraw donations.  A separate beneficiary account will be created for them. They can sign into this separate account and withdraw via bank transfer. Bank transfers take 2-5 business days to arrive.

You will not be able to invite someone else to withdraw from GoFundMe directly.

Instead, you will need to do one of the following: 

1. Withdraw the funds personally, and deliver them to your beneficiary outside of GoFundMe
2. Verify your identity using all of your own personal information when setting up the account. If your beneficiary is comfortable, you can then simply add their bank information instead of your own. All funds will then be sent to their account automatically moving forward.
