What is a charitable fundraising platform?

Under California AB 488, a charitable fundraising platform is any internet-based platform that solicits, processes, or enables donations from the public, including:

Crowdfunding sites
Donation campaigns at checkout (5+ charities)
Corporate giving portals
Peer-to-peer fundraising tools

These platforms must meet new registration, reporting, disclosure, consent, and fund handling standards to operate legally when reaching donors in California.

Use Change to stay compliant under AB 488
