DMARC for Non-Profit Organizations

In 2020, attackers spoofed the World Health Organization’s (WHO) domain, sending fake emails to thousands of people asking for donations toward Coronavirus relief. Although it was discovered before much damage was done, this was not an isolated incident.

Non-profit organizations and charities run almost exclusively on private, voluntary donations given by generous individuals who want to help those in need. Cybercriminals take advantage of this, sending spoofed emails to people all over the world requesting donations for a good cause. 

Once the phishing scam is uncovered, donors might hesitate to support or donate your non-profit, and people will be less likely to open your emails once they realize emails from your domain are potentially fake or malicious.
