Organization guidelines and acceptable use
Operate transparently. Collect only what you need.
Organizations using GiveCircuit are responsible for their programs, public claims, participant care, volunteers, donation destinations, and lawful handling of information.
Accurate public identity
Use the organization's real public name, describe current work accurately, maintain a functioning official website when one is published, and never present GiveCircuit payment as verification or endorsement.
Participant information
Collect only information needed to coordinate the drive. Do not request Social Security numbers, banking credentials, passwords, unnecessary medical details, or unrelated identity documents. Limit access to authorized staff and honor applicable access, correction, and deletion obligations.
Donations
Publish only donation destinations controlled by the organization or its authorized processor. Clearly explain restrictions, receipts, refunds, tax treatment, and goods-delivery expectations. Never route charitable funds through GiveCircuit billing.
Safety and fair treatment
Provide clear eligibility, pickup, cancellation, accessibility, volunteer, and conduct rules. Do not harass, exploit, discriminate against, or retaliate against recipients, volunteers, donors, reviewers, or reporters.
Enforcement
GiveCircuit may request clarification, restrict an external link, hide a public profile, pause registration, suspend access, preserve audit evidence, or remove an organization for unsafe, deceptive, unlawful, or repeatedly noncompliant use.
