As you begin planning your campaign, you may have some questions about whether or not Indiegogo allows the type of campaign you want to run. This is an especially important consideration if you want to run under the Community Projects category.
In general, for-profit and nonprofit campaigns are allowed on Indiegogo. Keep in mind as you create your perks, Indiegogo has rules about what you can and can't offer. We also recommend reading through our Terms of Use for more information on what we allow on Indiegogo.
If you are planning to create a personal cause campaign, please know that this is not allowed to run on Indiegogo. Instead, we encourage you to launch your campaign through GoFundMe, our partner for personal cause campaigns. Follow this link to get started.
