GoFundme only cares about good publicity Thousands of fundraisers on Gofundme haven't recieved a cent after months or even years, yet Gofundme only shows the ones that have already made thousands. Even worse, you can't filter to help someone start their fundraiser, you can only filter for ones that are almost complete. This shows that Gofundme cares more about a single success story for their website than actually helping people :(

Gave £50 to a good cause and charged… Gave £50 to a good cause and charged 16% fee. Don't use don't bother give direct. Cash grabbing fascists.

I donated £100 to a 'Ugandan… I donated £100 to a 'Ugandan orphanage', I became suspicious after them (the 'orphanage') contacting me directly through social media. I tried to contact the organiser of the fundraiser to find out some further information who apparently is US based but they haven't replied?. The man who contacted me from the 'Orphanage' was asking me to share the go fund me link and had multiple different named social media sites, he was also sending images and videos from the 'Orphanage' which was odd . I asked for documentation to see its a registered NGO so I could be confident in helping further via gofundme. I since realise the documentation he provided is fake, I complained to Gofundme and they have not checked the 'orphanage' out, its still raising money despite almost certainly being fake, I have not been 'covered' despite the wonderful advertisements of being fully covered on the Gofund me website and I have received no moneyback as guaranteed and the reply from Go Fund me support was very unprofessional. I will never trust this site again. Do not believe your money is 'guaranteed' it IS NOT. They are not tackling or even have any interest in the fact the fundraiser is FAKE and I gave proof. No interest whatsoever. I'm sure the media would have a field day if they knew this sort of thing was happening and judging by the comments...its happening regularly

Transfers paused for nearly a month with no idea how to retrieve funds!! I set up a fundraising page on behalf of my two daughters who along with their youth clubs choose a cause each year to raise money for. The account was set up nearly a month ago with transfers paused, I completed all forms and was told to expect 5-7 days. No response other than ‘we will escalate to our compliance team’ meanwhile we continue to receive donations. There are no humans only chat bots, my daughters are heartbroken that this money is not being sent to the babies we are raising money for, not to mention the stress I feel for accepting peoples donations only for the funds to be sat there doing nothing. I am having sleepless nights because of this, how can I face all the people who have donated in good faith, I wish I had never used GFM for our fundraiser. Their service falls way below my expectations for a company trying to help unite donors with a just cause. I would advise to AVOID at all costs.

At first I couldn't find my bank… At first I couldn't find my bank because it's an online bank. But, the CSR helped me out.
