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 Sinead,

Thanks so much for reaching out and that's a great question.

CrowdRise is an open platform that anyone in the world can use, but the only way you can collect your money is if you have a US social security number and US bank account OR a Canadian social insurance number and Canadian bank account.

If you don't live in the US or Canada, you would have to have a relative who lives in the US or Canada set up your fundraiser, link their bank account and collect the money for you.

Please emails us at Quintas@CrowdRise.com if you have any additional questions and we'll be standing by.

Quintas,
CrowdRise Customer Service Person
