Charity or Fundraising Listings

Charitable fundraising is a highly regulated area subject to numerous state and federal laws. NwMarketplace allows sellers to list items and collect proceeds (in whole or in part) on behalf of charity.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

• Listing cancellation

• Limits on account privileges

• Account suspension

• Forfeit of NwMarketplace fees on cancelled listings

Sellers may only list items for charity if they:

• Are soliciting on behalf of recognized tax-deductible charitable organizations (for example, 501(c) (3) status or equivalent with the IRS).

• Receive advance written consent for the solicitation from the benefiting nonprofit.

To verify you received permission, you must include a scanned copy of the consent in your listing. It must appear with the nonprofit’s letterhead, signed by an officer and include the nonprofit’s tax-deductibility status as well as your name or NwMarketplace User ID, dates of event/listings, and donation amount (percentage of the final sale price). It must be large enough to be easily legible, and it must appear as a picture rather than a link.
