YouTube Nonprofit donation module

The donation module allows YouTube nonprofit partners to enable a donation module to raise funds directly on YouTube.

Enabling the donation module

Please note that as of November 2013 we migrated to a new closed beta version of the donation module that uses Google Wallet to process donations. YouTube nonprofit channels who had the donation module enabled with a valid Google Checkout account at the time of migration have been automatically transitioned to Wallet. We are working on opening enrollment once the closed beta period ends.
