  30487: Toll Free verification rejection - Charitable organization must provide
  501(c)(3) verification
level: ERROR
product: Programmable Messaging
---

## Description

The Toll-Free phone number verification submission has been reviewed and it was rejected. Messaging traffic on this Toll-Free number is blocked until it's verified.

Verification is one component of ensuring A2P SMS is used by businesses in a legal and compliant manner. The review process looks at the business sending messaging (not the software powering it), the use case, sample content, the web presence, the opt-in/consent collected and associated website terms and privacy policies.

### Possible Causes

Your organization is identified as a charitable entity soliciting donations, but:

- Verification of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status was not provided
- The accreditation URL was either missing or invalid
- The submitted information does not confirm nonprofit status

### Possible Solutions

- Ensure your organization is registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity

- Provide a valid accreditation URL from a recognized nonprofit accreditation source such as:

  - BBB Wise Giving Alliance
  - Charity Navigator
  - GuideStar

- Verify that all submitted details match your official nonprofit records
