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.

We raised over $1000 on GoFundMe, but are unable to get the money out for the funeral expenses. There is no withdrawal ability. Very sad day for the family, and no response from GoFundMe. I think this is a scam of the most outrageous proportions.

A good way to donate money to someone or a cause. Wish I didn't have to pay a fee to do so. I have seen a lot of people benefit from donations raised.

Reply from GoFundMe

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.

The campaign went great my goal was almost hit. My son has a brain tumor and the community rallied to raise several thousand dollars. I have yet to receive funds. Drawing funds is a nightmare.

Cancels campaigns without even knowing what exactly is being campaigned. They clam it's against their terms of service, but the terms of service are very vague and poorly written. So if you make a campaign, expect it to be deleted because it'll violate one of their poorly written terms.

The process for withdrawing funds is misleading and deceptive and we were raising money to save abandoned/sick dogs. Don't use it. They took almost 8% in fees, shameful. They don't disclose it until after they take their fees.
