The Nonprofit Marketplace provides an exciting new way for nonprofits to receive cash donations. By registering your group as a charitable beneficiary, your supporters ("Independent Sellers") have the option to sell their pre-owned media items - DVDs, CDs, videotapes and books - over the Internet and donate a portion of all proceeds to your cause. All donations are transferred automatically to your organization electronically or by check. Your group has no obligations: Simply sign up and wait for donations to arrive.

Yes, completely free. There are no costs or fees of any kind for nonprofit beneficiaries. Donations are not subject to any commissions or transfer fees.

Simply sign up. You will be asked to provide basic security and contact information. When you are registered, no further actions need to be taken, apart from notifying us if any changes occur to your information or nonprofit status. To increase your chances for donations, spread the word: Encourage supporters to sell their stuff on your behalf by visiting our main Web page, http://www.efundraise.org and registering (free) as Independent Sellers. Make sure to remind them to select your organization as their chosen beneficiary.

To register, you must be a recognized not-for-profit organization headquartered in the United States. Also, since we prefer transferring funds via the Internet as opposed to by check, we request that you be equipped to accept payments on the web via Paypal (Paypal.com), a secure online payment system.

To register for our service, you should qualify as a tax-exempt, tax-deductible organization under IRS Code 501(c)(3), or constitute a church, synagogue or mosque. Exceptions to this tax distinction are made on a case-by-case basis to allow participation from other worthy causes (e.g., fraternities, sororities) that lack formal nonprofit status but are able to demonstrate that donations will be used in a strictly non-commercial fashion. (Please notify us if your group wishes to be considered for exceptional status.)

Finally, all registrants must accept our Terms of Agreement and Privacy Policy. Among other items contained in these documents, you agree to use funds strictly for nonprofit fundraising purposes and uphold utmost legal and ethical group standards during the course of your participation.

Yes, our system is designed to allow for this possibility. In other words, in the event you decide to sell items directly (i.e., hold a local book/media drive and resell items online) in addition to benefiting from supporters' sales, you will be able to do so: All relevant selling features are already enabled on your account page.

No, if your group has already registered as a direct sale fundraiser on our service, your organization will automatically be added to our list of possible beneficiaries. That means, in addition to selling items directly, your group will also appear in our database of qualified recipients, allowing supporters to sell on your behalf. You are not required to register again here.

Click here to sign up, thereby adding your organization to our growing database of nonprofit recipients. Registration is free and only takes a minute. Upon acceptance of your entry, you will be notified by e-mail and anyone in the United States can begin selling items on your behalf.

Signing up is both safe and secure. Potential sellers will only see: 1) the name of your organization; 2) your city/state; and 3) the category (e.g., Library or Environment) of your nonprofit. All other information is kept confidential, and will not be rented, sold, or shared in any way. For further details, please refer to our comprehensive Privacy Policy.
