Can I promote my product here?
The public rules page shows no published rules, so there is no written ban on promotion. The moderator one-liner still asks that posts stay relevant to fundraising tips, strategies, and support.

Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-09-27.
Works well
- A text post sharing one fundraising strategy you have seen work, written so a beginner can follow it.
- A short breakdown of a common fundraising mistake and how to avoid it.
- A genuine question asking nonprofit pros how they handle a fundraising challenge you are trying to solve.
- A helpful reply to a beginner's question, with your tool mentioned only if it truly fits.
- A post that teaches a fundraising tactic first and treats any product mention as a small footnote.
Avoid
- Posting something that has nothing to do with fundraising, since the moderator one-liner asks for relevance to fundraising tips, strategies, and support.
- Dropping a link with no tip, strategy, or support attached, because the survival tips call for high quality fundraising content.
- Treating the empty rules page as permission to spam, since the one-liner still sets a clear topic expectation.
- Writing a post that only makes sense as an ad, with no takeaway a fundraiser could use.
- Copying the same promotional text into multiple posts, which reads as spam even without a written rule against it.
What r/FundraisingHQ Is For
This is a community for fundraising tips, strategies, and support. The description welcomes nonprofit pros and people just starting out, so the room mixes experienced fundraisers with beginners. People come here to learn, share, and grow together, and the stated goal is making fundraising smarter and more impactful. If you are a founder, your reader here is someone raising money for a cause, not a startup raising a round, so keep that difference in mind.
What To Post
A good post here is a fundraising tip or strategy that works on its own, even if nobody clicks anything. Share a lesson from your own work that a nonprofit pro or a beginner could use this week. If your product helps fundraisers, the respectful move is to teach the underlying strategy first and mention your tool only if it genuinely adds something. Answer questions from people just starting out, because the description says they are welcome here. Since Rankhog has no observed top posts for this community, there is no proven formula yet, so plain, useful, on-topic advice is the safest bet.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules here, so nothing is officially banned by name. What the evidence does give us is a moderator one-liner asking that posts stay relevant to fundraising tips, strategies, and support. That means off-topic posts are the clear risk. A post that is only a pitch, with no fundraising tip or strategy inside, does not fit what the moderators asked for. Since there is no written promotion policy, be extra careful rather than less careful, because an unspoken standard is easy to trip over.

Common questions about r/FundraisingHQ
Do I need moderator approval before posting?
There is no published rule requiring approval, but with no rules on the books it is smart to lead with genuine value and keep any self-interest obvious and light.
Is my SaaS tool on topic here?
The community is for fundraising tips, strategies, and support, so a post about your software should be framed around a fundraising problem it helps solve.
Can I include a link to my site?
No rule sets a link policy, so links are unknown territory. A safer shape is a text post where the link only appears if someone asks for it.
What happens if I break a rule?
The rules page is empty, so the best guide is the moderator one-liner: keep posts relevant to fundraising tips, strategies, and support.
