Transfers are always paused for no reason!! Sadly, i took the risk of collecting funds for individuals amidst the war in Gaza to support families losing homes and loved ones. Once the funds started collecting, thank fully i started transferring straight away. Just like everyone else has stated they simply hold funds and pause transfers, which completely defeats the object of a fundraiser, no matter how many documents and info you provide. Its sad really, please dont start a fundraiser with them, there are plenty others to start a fund with. Many advised me not to go ahead with gofundme, but i took the risk and learnt my lesson. Hoping to retrieve the remaining funds or refund them all then close this down and open it up with another. Gofundme also take a cut from every donation FYI!!!! UPDATE: Responded back to gofundme via the email they provided, and still no response!

Don't do it! Out of $60 they are only giving $38.54 to my charity. This is outragious! I have set up a personal account for my charity now where 100% will go to it. I wish I would've read the reviews before starting this.

Support provided professionally The person whom I chatted responded professionally. I still think that it would be nice if there is a way to set up the tip percentage by the fund raiser. So, when a donor press the Donte Now button, the tip percentage appears as it was set up by the fund raiser. Currently, it’s set up the way that 17% of donated amount will be added as tips. And, many people don’t know it can be adjusted and think it’s the mandatory service charge that they should pay.

A sucker per minute In the USA they have a popular saying “There’s a sucker born every minute” and as far as I am concerned anyone who is mindwiped enough to hand money to (sometimes) complete strangers begging online, either has far too much money or is indeed a “sucker”. GO FUND YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!!!

Fraud & Deceit Warning!! Be sure to carefully check out any request for funds because the folks at GoFundMe seems to be lacking any standards for honesty and integrity. They DO NOTHING to shut down identified scammers. My niece submitted a beautifully written request (created with AI) to plead for money due to her self-proclaimed dire heart condition. Unfortunately, her story is nothing more than a pack of lies. She has currently collected thousands of dollars, and her account remains active even though multiple family members have reported her fraudulent actions to GoFundMe. I'm appalled by my niece's behavior, and dismayed by the lack of oversight at GoFundMe. Sadly, I can't trust the integrity of GoFundMe and will no longer use them for my charitable donations.
