Thank you BanTheBung for providing me with enough food to last me until my first paycheck at my new job. I even got a whole chicken (not pictured) which I made for my lunches for this week. This is more than enough food thank you so much. I have more that’s coming in the mail like some pb and j (unfortunately I cannot have pb in the house so I’ll be donating it my partner is severely allergic but it’s literally the thought that counts) thank you again kind fellow.

Did you know?

Our mod team in r/donationrequest vets an average of 750+ posts per month. The public only sees about 8% of those, as the great majority don’t meet our rigorous requirements. Not only do we require 200+ karma and consistent long term Reddit activity, but we ask those making cash or Gofundme requests to provide proof of hardship as well as expenses. Hardship documentation might be verification of household low income status, unemployment, job termination/offer, full time student enrollment, or eligibility for aid such as SNAP, SSI, etc. Proof of expenses (bills, estimates, etc.) should match requested amount.

To encourage transparency, we don’t allow requests from accounts with curated or hidden post/comment history, or previously deleted requests in donation or loan subs. To foster fairness, we ask for a two month cool down period after any fulfilled requests, and no more than two requests (unfulfilled or fulfilled) in any two month period. Donors can feel confident that accounts have been screened for any chronic grifting activity, including findom/paypig/sugar participation, and are free of egregious drug or gambling activity.

Of course, all this means that since only a small percentage of requests go live, our sub may appear relatively quiet. After all, we’d get much higher engagement stats and likely grow much more quickly if we let more requests through. But we continue to seek a healthy balance between vigilance and engagement, and we believe it’s worth it to cultivate safe places where individuals and families experiencing genuine hardship can receive help from those who are able to offer resources and support. We also appreciate the other donation subreddits among Reddit’s giving communities, whose mods work hard to facilitate welcoming spaces for people in need. Check out the newest assistance sub r/CommunityDonations, founded by a DR alumnus.

Recent changes

All that said, we have decided to try out relaxing some sub requirements. Instead of screening out accounts with activity gaps exceeding 90 days within the past year, we now only screen out accounts whose activity gaps exceed 30 days within the past six months (~180 days). We’ve also decided to drop the requirement for proof of hardship for wishlist requests only. However, we’re capping individual items on wishlists at $30 each to cut down on the possibility of resale. As usual, no gift cards allowed, and wishlists are limited to $150 of essentials only. When requesting groceries and other essentials, users are strongly encouraged to post a wishlist instead of asking for cash. Check out our updated rules here.

Top 3 reasons posts get removed

•The number one reason posts are removed is karma (200+)/account age (3 months).
•Number two is lack of proof of hardship (documentation of household low income status, not just a screenshot of an empty account or refrigerator photo) and expenses (bills, estimates, whatever the funds are meant to pay for). Please redact sensitive info first.
•The third most common issue is not specifying an exact amount in the post itself for both cash and Gofundme requests.

Other removal reasons

•If your need is greater than $50, you may not just make a cash request for our maximum limit. Proof of expenses should match requested amount.
•No requests to pay down existing debt, for relocations, or new homes/vehicles.
•Like most donation/loan subs, we have a clear rule not to delete any previous requests in any donation/loan subreddit. This applies even if posts are unfulfilled or have been removed from public view by mods. When vetting a request, it’s crucial that we check how often and why someone has requested help previously. Donation subs aren’t meant to be sustainable source of support, and accountability is important to donors.

Commonly overlooked

•Photos are often included as proof without the required username/date verification. All photo proof must include a paper with handwritten username/date. This includes fuel gauges. Please do not submit photos of empty refrigerators or bank accounts. Medical documents are preferred rather than photos of injuries.
•Cash requests are one donor per request, no crowdfunding without a platform that provides recourse for donors in case of fraud, like Gofundme.
•Be aware, if you are making a request, we can and will screen ALL your history, including hidden and deleted posts and comments!
