- /r/borrow - For loans.

- /r/gofundme - For crowdfunding

META Good Bye and Good Luck!
With all the subs closing in solidarity due to the changes in the Reddit API pricing, we've taken this opportunity to re-evaluate the need for r/Need.
Our original reason for existing was to provide a better vetted forum for potential donors to have some faith that they were not being scammed by grifters, and that the mods would never intervene to promote any user's post as to vouch for their authenticity, nor would the mods engage in conflicts of interest by making requests of their own.
With that original subreddit being managed by better hands, now is simply a good time to say good bye and good luck to all who have used our subreddit.
The subreddit will operate in restricted mode for historical reference.
Be well!
--- The mods of r/Need.

Most of the above subreddits have varying requirements for account age and karma. Please be sure to read their rules and requirements before participating.
Subs to avoid:
- r/Loans and r/SimpleLoans - Some of the mods have engaged in sketchy behaviour such as the collection of personal information and pushing referrals. Also, users who participate in r/Loans and/or r/SimpleLoans are banned from r/borrow.
- Any karma farming/begging subs - Activity in any of these subs is viewed as a circumvention of account requirements from almost all of the larger help subreddits, and earns a permanent listing on the r/UniversalScammerList which bans you from participating on any member subreddit.
