Are you planning to withdraw funds from your fundraiser to a bank account owned by a business or organization?
The person withdrawing to the organization's bank account must be a beneficial owner. A beneficial owner is someone with significant responsibility to control, manage, or direct the organization (e.g., a Chief Executive Officer, Vice President, Treasurer, or a controller) and they will have access to the organization’s bank account. The individual withdrawing the funds will not be liable for taxes.
Important: These directions will not apply to you if you created a certified charity fundraiser. Learn more about the two fundraiser types here.
This article covers the following topics:
- Impostazioni di prelievo del titolare effettivo
- Sending a beneficiary invitation to a beneficial owner
- Verifica dell'organizzazione
Impostazioni di prelievo del titolare effettivo
- Select “Withdraw” from your fundraiser Dashboard
- Scegli Me stesso
- If you do not see the “Myself” option, you may have a charity fundraiser or a Stripe account. Follow those links for directions on how to withdraw from those fundraiser types.
- Choose the type of organization you are raising funds for
- If you do not see that option, simply fill out your name and personal information when verifying your identity and your organization’s banking information when prompted to add banking information
- Fill out the organization information, your personal identity information, and your organization’s banking information
Sending a beneficiary invitation to a beneficial owner
Se non sei un titolare effettivo ma sei in contatto con chi amministra le finanze dell'organizzazione, seleziona Preleva e scegli Qualcun altro per spedire a questa persona l'invito a diventare beneficiario.
If you’re not affiliated with the organization, you will need to withdraw to your personal bank account by clicking “Myself and Personal” and send the funds to the organization outside of GoFundMe. Just be sure to make it clear in your story that you will be the one handling funds.
Verifica dell'organizzazione
Occasionalmente, il nostro elaboratore dei pagamenti ha bisogno di ulteriori informazioni dopo aver impostato le informazioni bancarie. Quando si verifica questo, i prelievi vengono messi in pausa fino a quando non riceviamo da te i documenti richiesti via email.
Tra i documenti che potrebbero venire richiesto vi sono:
- Documento d'identità del proprietario e/o della persona che detiene almeno il 25% delle quote dell'organizzazione
- A copy of the organization’s governmental registration; such as articles of incorporation, articles of association, certificate of incorporation, or applicable
- The organization’s tax ID number
- IRS 501(c) (3) determination letter (only applicable to US non-profit organizations)
- A bank statement for the organization
If you are sending funds to a business or organization's bank account, and have been asked to upload bank account documentation, our team will need to work with you directly to verify withdrawals. Please submit the requested information via this form as soon as possible to get started here.
