Plumfund

I registered my baby on Plumfund and it was a great way to help my friends and family share the costs of my bigger gifts. I didn’t want to receive endless clothes and stuffed animals that I wouldn’t use. Plumfund helped me get my big ticket items like a stroller and baby chair that individuals couldn’t afford but the group could chip in to afford together! It was easy to use and had a nice display.

So you get asked all these personal questions and verify your account....and then it works for a day or two and suddenly it stops? Without warning. Then you find a email that tells you you need to 'verify' your account. Which you do but suddenly you need to change your password and NO MATTER what you do the website will not let you log in. This is terrible and a time waster. I would rather risk covid, collect cash and turn it into a gift card. This is a nightmare.

My kiddie girl was raising funds for a music camp and PlumFund took out 12% when someone donated $5500 so she could go. That is NOT what the website says. This is horrible. I can’t imagine how this happened and I am hoping it was a mistake.

Recently became sick and my employer does not provide paid medical leave. I set up a Plumfund campaign and everything is fine... until I start receiving donations. They allow you to withdraw funds through a third party Wepay.com (Chase Bank). In order to access this account they will send a verification code to your phone number. Only issue is the number they are sending the code to is a number I haven't used in years. They give me no option to change the number so now they have my money with me having no access to it. Changed my number on Plumfund but that made no difference.

My BIL had a bad accident with TBI. I used Plumfund to set up a fundraiser to help with expenses. Every donation was noted and I was able to track donors and thank them directly. All donations were easily transferred to the bank account of my BIL. The costs were much less than other fundraising sites.
