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!

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.

Good but charge too much fee with each transaction. The website was easy to setup and they were good about forwarding the funds on the 1st of each month of the fundraiser. However, the people that donated complained about how much GiveForward was actually collecting off of each donation. I agreed. Next time I will find a free website to collect funds for such a good cause

Failed Received only one donation and it was from the great grandmother, no one even bothered with our story.

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.
