*UPDATE*
Since writing this review my issue with GFM has been resolved, but I'm going to leave this review here as it may help someone in the future. Go Fund Me had replied to my requests, but had used a different email address so the answer was in my spam folder. I never use my laptop for emails, and as spam folders are not supported on tablet, I had no idea. I had received confirmation from GFM that they had received my request email, but then nothing...so I made the assumption they were not attempting to reply to me and didnt even consider they would use a different email to make contact. I have suggested they add to their support information that they reply from a different email, and to check spam email.
What a rort. There is $10k in a Stripe acc that can't be accessed (I cannot figure out why as one intial payment of $5k was paid to the beneficiary without issue) and GFM will NOT reply to my REPEATED requests over the past 3 weeks to help me pay this money to the 23yo stroke victim that our rural, small community has managed to raise the funds for. For the record Stripe have tried to help but I've been advised that ultimately GFM have precedent over the funds. THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTACT GFM.

I really wish I'd given them a fake e-mail address. I got signed up for their e-mail list after donating to one campaign, despite never checking a box or otherwise asking to be added. I hit the unsubscribe button on multiple e-mails before finally contacting customer service, since the unsubscribe button wasn't unsubscribing me. Customer service responded quickly and got me unsubscribed, but then I got not one, not two, but THREE follow-up e-mails asking if I was happy. No guys, sorry, I'm not happy. I really didn't want any more e-mails at all. I'm sure some people would be grateful that you care this much about customer service, but I feel more like my privacy has been violated (especially since I originally asked to have my info expunged from the database, not just to be unsubscribed.)

I used GoFundMe collect donations for the Dominica hurricane. In response to the scenes of devastation and knowing my relatives were enduring this, I looked for a funding site to start collecting donations straight away. GoFundMe was one of the first sites to pop up from my internet search. I hadn't used a funding site before but should have taken the time to read the small print, (my fault) as it was a surprise to see the size of the cut the company took from the donation. I felt bad about this, as that money could have made a difference to some very desperate people and I realised there were other organisations who wouldn't have charged so much, and also, individuals who I could have made arrangements with.
For me, the site has some positives, but I wouldn't use it again or recommend it, as there seems a bit too much focus on the money making side of things (e.g. a bit overly enthusiastic in promoting ideas for generating more funds, which course result in an even bigger percentage raised for the site). I don't have an issue with companies needing to make a living, but the way this company (and others like it) goes about it doesn't resonate with me.

Thank you for this honest feedback, Martha! It's never our intention to hide fees from our users. They're displayed here before you set up a campaign:
That being said, in response to the feedback we've received from users like you, we've recently decided to waive our 5% fee in the UK (as well as a few other countries): - Please note a standard payment processing fee still applies.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.

Customer service is reprehensible. We collected over $130,000 to help our employees in Houston - many of whom have lost EVERYTHING. Yet it has been impossible to withdraw the funds. We are a global company. Our CFO has on numerous occasions entered the information they requested. They email us asking for additional information and say they will remove the hold after receiving the information. We provide the additional the information. Then we receive another email from another representative with the exact same message asking for the same additional information, etc. etc. etc. WTF??? We have been trying to withdraw funds for the last 2 weeks. So while our employees are living in shelters in Houston, the GoFundMe clerks are sitting anonymously behind their computers in their air-conditioned cubicles or homes or on the beach or WHEREVER...doing nothing for anyone. I believe this company has lost sight of their original goal to help not just themselves, but others as well. They do not provide a phone number with good reason - because they would be inundated with angry phone calls.

Hi Cathy,
Thank you for this honest feedback. After reviewing your message history with us, it looks like your campaign was caught up in security and verification measures of our payment processor. These measure are in place to ensure donations are sent safely and securely to the correct people or organization. That being said, I see that the resolution of this situation took longer than it should have during an urgent times. It looks like our team made a call to your organization and we were able to reach a solution that worked for both us to make up for the time that was lost.

Klunky user experience, must use exact case for email address (its 2017?), closed our campaign and requested money 6 days ago and still have not received. We had a team within our organization raise money for others on our team impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We setup the campaign to appear as if it were from the team and not one individual person. Go Fund Me has all of my personal contact info, bank account info, SSN, and heck I even think they have my kids SSNs yet they refuse to send a payment because I will not post "I, , am deducting these funds" publically on the campaign site. We intentionally created this site as a group so it would show our unity as a team. If I post "I , am withdrawing these funds" everyone on my team will receive an email showing that. How embarrassing! Customer Support - just pick up the phone and call me back instead of trying to find ways to continue to earn interest on our money!

Thank you for this feedback, Karen. I have reviewed your interaction with us and while it is common for us to require verification messages to be posted on campaigns that have the name of the campaign organizer hidden, it does appear like it took our team a bit too long to respond at some points during your interaction with us, so I apologize for that delay.
That being said, I can confirm that we do not require anyone's social security number except for the person withdrawing the funds. I can also confirm that we do not earn interest on holding funds. Our sole reason for holding funds is to verify they are being sent to the proper beneficiaries, and the verification message we required you post is part of that process.
I speak for the entire team when I say we're hopeful that the funds raised were able to help the families who were impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
Sincerely,

My son Michael "Mike" Busbee passed away July 23, 2017. Insurance would not cover his death, because it was a suicide. Michael suffered from depression. Christopher "Topher" Nichols started a GoFund Me campaign to help with funeral arrangements. The campaign raised $8550.00. The campaign stated that all funds were to go directly to Michael's mom, however, Topher decided to keep the funds, and they were transferred directly into his personal account. My son's ashes remain in the cardboard box that was given to me from the funeral home. I made a claim to GoFundMe, returned all proof of identity for Michael's Mother, along with all other documents they requested. Go FundMe is dragging it out with no remedy for the situation. Their customer service sucks, with no contact to an actual person. Their Guarantee. Is a line of bs that they do not stand behind. I am a grieving mother that should not be having to deal with all this, I have lost my only child, and shpuld not be fighting this fight.

Dear Gofundme,
this is a very shocked user. My husband and I thought to use the site to help paying our beloved cat's expensive bill. I didn't think your rate to help us out were so outrageous. We remained appalled about your policy. Nothing is for free that's a given unless you agree on a fair trade. I would have appreciate a fair flat fee of for instance $25 or even $30 for you and whatever we make it was going towards the veterinarian's bill. Perhaps you should embrace the same plan as more fair companies like Airb&B or other ones. When people use your site is to get an extra help. Also, you didn't even circulate the page around. We had to take care of letting people know about the site. So the $67 you made through us are based of doing nothing. Congratulations you are definitely e legal unfair site! I
We reached only $770 of this money gofundme kept about $67. I should be ashemed on a human and value creation society level. Some of our family and friends decided to donate separately. I am glad this happened. I am officially protesting against this abuse of power. You are taking advantage of people feelings and emotions. I read online some of the reviews and if I were you I would start expanding life through the process of introspection. Whatever we think say or do will have an equal effect. When we don't create value a lesson is about to occur.
We only lost $67 you lost compassion, kindness, empathy and so forth. Meditate on that and work hard on how you behave in the future. I will send my daimoku for you to open the eyes and realize we are ONE and if dont' take responsibility on helping one another we totally miss the concept on being a human.
Thank you for listening

Gofundme along with Wepay has ripped us off of $1,000, and that's not counting all the time I have had to spend trying to get the to understand their mistakes. They made them from the very beginning and their employees can't seem to comprehend simple things.
I should be dedicating this time to the care of my husband who's in stage 3 of 4 of heart failure. Nope these yahoos can't tie their shoes. This originated from them illegally charging my friend's credit card twice. They cannot even admit their mistake, and they can't even understand their mistake, despite the fact it has been pointed out to them, practically with charts and such. They do not respond in a timely manner and there is no phone number to call and actually speak with a person. They are hiding behind a scam "security" screen about having a phone number!!
I am filing formal complaints with the CA and NY attorney generals office and many more. I am taking to social media to call them out and warm others. I will be contacting people who have gofund me pages up b/c they are ripping people off at their greatest time of need.

Hi Jean,
We've reviewed your account, and it looks like a bug caused some trouble here with charging a donor twice. To make up for that mistake, we waived our fees and covered the second charge while also refunding your donor. While this bug was a unique situation for your campaign, that's no excuse for the stress caused to you during an already stressful time in your life.
We wish you and yours the best.

Oh man
I made a go fund me thinking I might be able to get some help buying a new computer. As an artist they can be pretty expensive. And even harder when you have a bad anxiety disorder and can't work. Magically I woke up to see someone gave me $3000 with the message to make it count. I was so happy and tried to withdraw the money. I got an email saying I wasn't clear about who I was (not possible, I used my Facebook, real name and stuff) I was too vague on what I'd spend the money on (a new computer, duh) and how I was related to the person the funds were being raised for. (Me) so I messaged them back saying it was all true and sitting on the edge of my seat. I get another message then next day asking how I was related to the Donor? I'm not, they were someone I didn't know. They could have been a fan of my work or just someone who felt really generous. So far no email back and my funds are on hold. I really got my hopes up here. This is Turing into a really terrible expirience.

I will NEVER campaign through GoFundMe because they work alongside WePay, a joke of a company. They are the absolute worst. They take money straight out of your account for chargebacks (when the donations are supposed to be NON-REFUNDABLE, but don't let them fool you, they aren't), unauthorized! They refuse to return it to you, or be understanding in any way. They'll send you an email telling you that they had already done so, not even giving you a chance to contest or ask why. $45.46 stolen by WePay from my personal bank account, and I'll never see it again. I guess I do have one thing to thank WePay for... Thank you for showing me that I should have never done business with you or ever again, and now I can warn others against doing the same. I have nothing good to say about this company. Unfair and money-hungry... The absolute worst experience. The much worse part? GoFundMe would not help me in any way. My first, and certainly last experience, with GoFundMe or moronic WePay. It's a shame that GoFundMe works with them.

Gofundme is a scam!!! They make it super easy to sign up and donate but then to withdraw the money is a nightmare. They ask all kinds of repetitive questions regarding the fund. I knew the campaign organizer for a funeral fund and they would ask her such questions as: what is the money being used for? Can you verify the expenses of the funeral? Can you verify that you are you?
My poor sister in law couldn't even grieve her own mother because she had to deal with gofundme on top of planning a funeral she didn't have money for.
Their customer service department is non existent. You can only contact by email and they respond with automated BS messages. You reply to that and then they don't reply. Eventually the cycle starts over because you have to reach out again. Gofundme..

I don't like gofundme.com. I was campaigning for funds for less fortunate children in the Philippines that would run all year round, unfortunately I had no enough donation for my $2000 target (only $50.00 was donated), so gofundme.com removed the donation url for that reason. I checked my account why, and their reason is because the donation did not reach $500.00, Because of this, I was not able to make anymore donation from where I embedded the donation code in my own website for a few more people to donate. The link was removed without prior notice, living me expecting it was working alright until I noticed the link did not exist anymore. I still have to try more crowdfunding sites that has no such policy and be more helpful to anybody seeking help.

I tried to contact gofundme.com, but could not get past the robot prove you are human by checking the box because it kept spinning around and around for over five minutes. Heard they do not like to answer questions. I donated $50 to a Fund and was charged $7.50, or 15% extra to process it. That really angered me. How much did the Fund have to pay to receive the donation, and how do I even know they received it or the fund received it? I really disliked having to give my credit card information and won't do it again. If I can't donate directly or by Paypal, I will not use my credit card info with the CCV. GoFundMe feels like a scam operation, excessively profitable for them

I have used gofundme a number of times over the years for worthwhile Causes and People. It has now become obvious that gofundme is a Political Organization. When they succumbed to Political Pressure to shut down disbursement of donated funds, then tried to steal them to give to their own cherrypicked 'charities or causes'; that was it for me. I will never use that service ever again.

I was paying to an event in Canada and the fund was shut down because of Media coverage. George Floyd and BLM was not closed down and there was burning and death in the streets. I feel this was a political move and politics should not be involved with charity funds. GFM is only an conduit to get funds out. NOT to end funds because they disagree with them. I will never use this platform again. There are plenty others to choose from.

Why is responding to emails such a problem for this platform? This is not some game app but a platform for people in dire needs to get help and yet gofundme simply either does not respond or responds with totally irrelevant, off topic replies, mind you takes 2-3 days just to get one if you get one. I am unable to log in, no error message of any kind, screen simply fades away as if logging in and stays this way forever. Have sent 3 emails asking for assistance or what to do with no response at all. So what am i suppose to do?

I have used this site to get donations for three or four different reasons. I do exactly what is recommended to get donations started and to get to my goal. But not one of these gofundme fundraisers that I started has ever received a donation, not even a penny. And my fundraisers are about important things that are not stupid at all. But in my opinion, people that do stupid things are getting the money and absolutely way more than they asked for. This isn't a Fundraiser site of importance. It is a site for doing stupid crap and getting paid for doing the stupid crap. A very huge difference

GoFundMe is not a good way to try to raise money. Unless you personally know rich people, no one will help you. And the people who do donate to GoFundMe accounts only donate to horrible causes like abortions instead of people who desperately need money because they are struggling financially to make ends meet.
