# Read our community rules!

- **Do not promote** your nonprofit or company, yourself, or any product, service, project, support, or event — whether paid, pro-bono, free, or volunteered.

- **Disclose your affiliation**. If your stuff (like an article or video) is directly relevant to a discussion, you may mention it in a comment, but *you must explain how it is relevant and disclose your affiliation*. If you only participate to plug your stuff, your comments will be removed.

- **Do not solicit**. Do not ask for donations, votes, likes, or follows. No market research, client prospecting, lead capture or gated content, or recruiting research participants or product/service testers. Do not share surveys.

- **Put in effort.** Got questions about starting or running a new nonprofit? [**Read the wiki**](/r/nonprofit/wiki/index) before you post. Do not ask questions that are easily googled or answered by the wiki. Do not make vague posts like, “How do I find grants?” Instead, provide some info about your situation. Length ≠ effort.

- **Do not share personal info** like phone numbers, emails, or mailing addresses.

- **Do not ask which CRM, database, or fundraising platform to use**. You may only post about using your current CRM, database, or fundraising platform more effectively. [Learn more](https://www.reddit.com/r/nonprofit/comments/fafq7v/the_ban_on_which_crm_database_posts_is_now/).

- **Do not ask how to research or report fraud or illegal activity at a nonprofit you don't work for.** This is answered in [the wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/nonprofit/wiki/index). r/Nonprofit does not provide legal advice. Consider talking to a lawyer.

- **Do not create link-only posts or comments**. Provide enough context so visiting the link is not necessary.

- **Be good to one another**. No personal attacks. [Learn more](https://www.reddit.com/r/nonprofit/comments/l5n12i/it_seems_that_this_needs_to_be_emphasized/).

- **Follow Reddit’s rules**, a.k.a. [reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-basics/reddiquette).

- **Help improve quality**. See something that doesn't belong? Report it. But don't report something just because you disagree with it or don’t like it.

#####**If you violate any rule, you may be banned without warning.**

Moderators can remove or prohibit any content they feel is not in the sub’s best interest.

[Message the mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fnonprofit) if you have questions about the rules or to check if a post is allowed. Do not message individual moderators.
