Raised money to help pay for my father's funeral services...GoFundMe's website doesn't even work properly. We cannot withdraw our money and was never made aware that we would also be subject to WePays percentages to be removed from the donations as well as GoFundMe's percentage. 5% plus an additional 2.9% and 30 cents for every donation. But that doesn't even matter because we cannot get a dime withdrawn from the site. DO NOT USE GOFUNDME

I tried to change my password because I am grief stricken after my brother's death. They were supposed to send me a confirmation password to reset my password. I couldn't!! Another email says password successfully set. They never sent a confirmation password. I can't even register for a new account because it says email taken. There is no money to give my only sibling a decent sendoff!! He died suddenly!! Please help me. I am beside myself with grief and worry because this is affecting my mother worse!! She is elderly with major heart problems. Please help!! Thank you kindly.

Terrible sight. Unless you are tied in with every single media Network on the planet, it will not help you. I needed help with medical and legal expenses I was explicit about it had photographs and still to no avail. I would never recommend this to anybody I know unless I wanted someone to waste their time or I knew that they had created every media Network.

WOW! Set up an account because my wife passed away and needed relief with funeral costs. We had a total amount raised of $4,435.00. GoFundMe took 5% ($221.75) and WePay took two fees (2.9% + 0.30) per transaction for a total of $141.50. So between them both they got total fees of $363.25 from our funeral fund. I hope life is as sympathetic when someone who works there loses a loved one.

when you donate to GoFundMe, they ask for a "tip" you choose the percentage you want. i think there was 5%, 10%. i didnt see a phone number anywhere to call, i wanted to ask about this and why are they wanting a "tip." I emailed them and didn't get a response. i just chose the lowest percentage just so i can complete my donation. but beware at the end of your donation you will see that.

Go fund me blocked a campaign like the one from the Canadian truckers due to politics. They truckers have legitimate support from thousand of Canadians and raised over 10 million in about a week. They should not decide which causes should get support.

I will never use GoFundMe again due to how they've handled recent events. If a campaign is shut down, money should be automatically reimbursed and not kept and redistributed how GoFundMe sees fit. Shame on GoFundMe for this mess. It has ruined their reputation in my eyes.

Thank you for this honest feedback, Breanna.

Since you wrote this review, we've recently updated our fees to remove the 5% platform fee from all US, Canadian, and UK personal fundraising campaigns. There is still a payment processing fee that varies by country, but for the vast majority of GoFundMe users the fees are significantly lower. Instead of the 5% mandatory fee, donors are now asked to make an optional tip to support GoFundMe.

Really terrible support, with very little information on how the funds are released. Very little or ambiguous information on how tax is reported. These are gifts to a family that needs help immediately. Why make the process so unduly complicated, and charge 5% for this terrible service.
