When my husband became ill a friend set up a gofundme for us. When it was time to withdraw funds my email was giving me and gofundme fits and wouldn’t accept a necessary email I needed to set this up. I contacted gofundme and Kelsi fixed it all up for me in record time and was the sweetest thing. Thank you Kelsi!

GoFundMe was quick,secure and easy to use.

GoFundMe is an excellent resource for raising funds. They were incredibly helpful when Tabletop Gaymers first started to raise funds online. They have incredibly good customer service and their response times to tickets (even at 3:00am) is amazing. The only reason I am not willing to give them 5-Stars is because of their billing policy. They take 0% of personal campaigns, but 5% of nonprofit campaigns. This seems backwards to me.

Gofundme was a great way to raise money desperately needed. At one point during the campaign I was notified that a gofundme employee nominated my campaign for the gofundme gives back. They gave my campaign an extra $1000. I was so surprised. I didn't have a large campaign. But that extra put my total over the top. It helped several men receive education badly needed. I recommend gofundme.

One of the most widely known group funding sites. Ranging from charity to company support, the site is a vehicle for a wide audience. Sponsors need to do their own research into the validity of a particular cause. All in all, the site offers fund raising opportunities over the usual "buy this product" to provide support to a cause.
