Why this rule existsrationale
Donation solicitation carries eligibility requirements — verified 501(c)(3) status — that exist precisely to stop fraudulent charity messaging. Running it under a marketing use case bypasses that check, so reviewers force the correction.
How to fix itremediation
Register under the CHARITY use case with 501(c)(3) status declared on the brand, or remove the donation ask from both the campaign and the messaging programme.
