FRAUD FRAUD. Giveforward allows fraud by not checking accuracy of requests- Anyone can post anything to receive donation through Giveforward. see Nadine Kpanou fundraising request.

Better off asking people for money directly. The following is my opinion. Do your own research. If you look through their current listings for donations you can not find your own page. Instead digging through you find dozens upon dozens of garbage listings with random letters and characters. The hand full of people who are featured on the site never seem to change. It's almost like they are either fake or incredibly lucky to have been featured. Who knows why they get the lucky break. Others linger and suffer with no donations even though they have cross posted everywhere. The general public never sees your page. Only those that you give your link. You could just ask people for money directly instead of sharing with this crummy site. The misleading part is that giveforward suggests that you donate to yourself to "encourage" others. Well we did that. We NEEDED money for my wifes chemo. The only people who donated were ourselves and a family member. Good job GF... stealing FEES from a chemo patient.

Review of give Forward My brother was diagnosed with tongue cancer about 3 months after being laid off....we needed to find raise asap and used GF. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.....I understand fees but for 8% of what we raise the customer service is slow, I always have to leave a message and be threatening to get a quick call back and they are not helpful. They shared our posts and other information on the social media without consent and said we had to opt out vs opt in (it should be the other way around)...so we had no idea until private updates went public (HIPPA violations). I cannot retrieve my password and when I asked for help it took 30 min to get someone to know that they could easily reset my password for me when it was a very very simple task. I could go on and on and on....use someone else or figure out a way to get donations directly on Facebook or somewhere where the fees aren't this high and get nothing for it.

I can't contact anyone about my issues I can't contact anyone or speak to anyone about a check that was misplaced and just now found after unpacking and I'm trying to get a check reissued cause this one is passed 180 days how can I get ahold of anyone

Give the money to those who need it. If I had fully understood the market for crowdsourcing and how GiveForward works, I never would have used it. When I think about how much GiveForward took of the money we raised for my friend dying of cancer, it sickens me!
