GoFundMe

I donated to a worthy cause. The Gofundme page takes you to a “tip” page—which quickly automates and adds a custom tip! Mine was 15%! Best I can tell it helps with the go fund me page platform—which is not what I was donating to. I am trying to get that portion back but no luck so far. Theft!

They decided not to let us have funding because we are religious. They are also extremely racist against white Americans. They decide if you deserve funding based on your beliefs. Whether those beliefs are political, religious, or what not. A new funding co. Needs to be started. A lot of people are having their accounts locked, losing the money, and them refusing to give it back.

I have used Gofundme for a Thanksgiving Food drive for the past 5 years. I raised over $1500 to pay for 127 meals and in the past have had little issues with GFM withdrawing the money other than I had wait 5-7 business days for GFM to release raised money. This year it has been a lot more difficult with getting GFM to release the raised money. Even though my bank account has been the same account I have transferred raised money into the past 5 years this year they required a copy of my bank statement with logo, front and back picture of my DL and still having issues getting them to release raised funds. Keep getting different error messages a day later. Then they are going to release the money in stages over a week at a time. So confusing and not very good customer service. I am done with using GFM for any future events. I am going to try another service moving forward for raising donations. I do not recommend GFM.

My family reported a GoFundMe page set up for our loved one funeral. Asked us to submit all these documents all over email. Their decision was for other party to keep money & no contributions for funeral.

I started a Gofundme for a wild goose fledgling that was attacked by a dog. I raised over $1200 to pay for his vet bill and have had the same experience as many others here I see!! Will not let me connect a bank acct at all. Can't get past the Withdraw tab and verify email msg just keeps repeating itself! How is this even legal that you keep all this money without consequences??? Wondering now if you even refund the money at all?! Disgusting!!

Gofundme will not release funds to a friend who is raising money to save his father's life in Venezuela. They are in desperate need of the money as his father is currently tubed in Venezuela due to COVID19. As we speak his father is fighting for his life and if he does not receive the money he will die. The clinic is threatening his family that if they do not receive further payment they will have to cut him off and hence he will die. Venezuela is not the U.S. By any means there is no human rights whatsoever; no money you die. Simple as that. Gofundme stop playing god and release the funds those in need. You are jeopardizing this family's wellbeing and I'm sure this is not the first one and will not be the last one. Please do something!! TICKET #**

Early 2020 I started a campaign to raise funds for a new invention called carbon monoxide. The campaign did not work within 2 months. I closed the campaign down and tried to receive my funds I donated to myself $110. I found it through the routing number electronically you had to set up but the money was donated off of my debit card. It's been over a year trying to collect my money now from GoFundMe. I filed a report with the Better Business Bureau. They stated they could not make them pay. Today it's October the 6th 2021 and I still have not received a dime. I was told they were not going to pay me. They sent me a text and "We can only pay you through an electronic means." I sent my new debit card and they contact and said, "We can't send money to that."

The GoFundMe website will not allow me to withdraw funds from a fully-funded campaign. I am the sole organizer on behalf of a private party. I have had an account for years and have donated and provided financial information for every donation. I deleted an old credit card on file but that should not prohibit me from withdrawing. The beneficiary is to do the withdrawal. I can't even get to that portal. There is no "team" as they say sometimes a "team member" can't withdraw. I am the sole fundraiser.

People need help, And help should not be denied because of their political views or race, religion, or whether they're a victim of medical malpractice. Am sure Gofundme started out with good intentions, Unfortunately your good reputation is being tainted by some bad decision.

Although I have used GoFundMe in the past, this last experience made me decide to never go back again under any circumstances. I pushed my financial limit and gave $500 to a fund raiser that was just getting started, with a goal of $25,000 and just a few donors totaling about $2,000 from about 5-6 people. I went back 2 days later to see how they were doing, and they were gone with no explanation whatsoever.
