Working with us

As a US 501(c)(3)public charity, CAFAmerica can accept tax-deductible gifts from US donors. Since US donors cannot give tax-effectively directly to foreign nonprofits, many use CAFAmerica as their intermediary.

CAFAmerica must evaluate each suggested foreign nonprofit organization under US law to verify that they are legitimate and will use any grant exclusively for charitable purposes. We undertake all necessary due diligence to comply with US laws and make additional checks as necessary to ensure safe international grant making.

Applying for eligibility at CAFAmerica means undergoing our due diligence evaluation process. This is a great way to ensure the accountability and transparency of your organization and give your donors peace of mind to support you confidently.

Once your organization is eligible with CAFAmerica you can get started fundraising right away by accepting single gifts, establishing a ‘Friends of’ Charity Fund to manage a fundraising appeal, of help your donor support you through CAFAmerica’ other giving solutions.
