What verification and campaign review really mean

Practical Crowdfundme guidance you can use before, during and after campaign review.

Verification and campaign review are separate safeguards. Verification checks the account or organisation behind a fundraiser. Campaign review checks whether a fundraiser is ready to appear publicly on Crowdfundme.

What account verification means

Individuals and organisations complete Crowdfundme’s verification process before they receive full access to verified-user features. The process may combine secure third-party identity signals, documents and administrator review.

A verification indicator means specified information was reviewed through the platform process. It is not a guarantee that every future statement, outcome or transaction connected with an account will be risk-free.

What campaign review means

New fundraisers are submitted to Crowdfundme for review before they can appear in public discovery. Review can consider the campaign story, beneficiary relationship, media, use-of-funds information and any supporting evidence requested by the platform.

What happens if a published fundraiser is edited

Material edits to an approved fundraiser can return it to review. This helps ensure that the version shown publicly matches the version Crowdfundme approved.

Possible review outcomes

  • Approved: the fundraiser can appear publicly.
  • Changes requested: the organiser is asked to correct or clarify information and resubmit.
  • Not approved: the fundraiser does not become public and the organiser receives the review outcome.

What supporters should look for

Read the fundraiser story, understand who is organising it, review the stated goal and use of funds, and use the report option if something appears misleading or concerning.
