Why can't I find my charity on CrowdRise?

CrowdRise uses a third-party web-service from GuideStar that contains information on over 1.5 million US-based 501(c)3 nonprofits. If you can't find your nonprofit on CrowdRise, first try searching by your EIN (Tax ID) since that's the most accurate way to search. If you still can't find your nonprofit, go to the Guidestar.org website and search for your charity there. If you find your charity on the GuideStar website, simply email nposervices@guidestar.org and ask to be opted in to their third party web-feed. Within 24 hours you'll show up on CrowdRise. If you don't see your charity on GuideStar, you can contact us or reach out to them directly but note that GuideStar receives a file from the IRS an average of 11 times a year of organizations who are deemed eligible to be listed as a nonprofit so it will take at most, a month and a half before your nonprofit can be automatically included in the GuideStar database.
