In order to fundraise and claim an official nonprofit page on Causes, you must be a registered 501(c)(3) organization AND opted-in to receive online donations with Guidestar. To set up an account with Guidestar, contact them directly through their website, customerservice@guidestar.org or (800) 784-9378. 

If you just set-up your Guidestar account, it may take up to 24 hours for our system to sync with theirs before you can set-up your nonprofit page.

Once your organization is set-up on Guidestar, search for your organization's page using your EIN or name at the top of Causes.com.
