Hi there! I am a South African citizen and desperately attempting to raise funds for university-related costs for this upcoming year. I do not have a foreign account, but a person I know and trust completely has a British account to where I am happy to consent the funds be transferred (and he will, in turn, transfer it to my local account along with his monthly contribution towards my costs). Is it possible for me to go about starting a fundraiser through these measures?

Hey Heather,
 
Thanks for reaching out and awesome question. If you have an IRS-registered 501c3 organization, your page will automatically be populated on CrowdRise. This is set up through an integration with GuideStar.org. GuideStar is an official database of all U.S. based 501c3 organizations.
 
If you have an EIN, feel free to drop me an email at Quintas@CrowdRise.com and I can see if we already have a page on CrowdRise for your organization. Also if your org is only sanctioned in certain states, we can still get you set up with a personal account, which you can easily name to reflect the title of your organization.
 
There are a bunch of options and I'm ready to help you figure out which one is best for you and your fundraising efforts. Thanks again and have the best weekend ever.
