The mission is a great one, but the measure of a great organization is its response to issues. Issues happen. I had one (a minor one). GoFundMe’s response was outstanding. They were responsive, quick to move to resolution, and required very little of me to close the issue to my unconditional satisfaction. Really, really well done, GoFundMe.

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.

Gofundme is a popular way to send money to causes that interest you. I do feel like the fees might be high and they also now ask for tips, which I don't get. At any rate, it's a good way for people to raise money and reach people they wouldn't normally be able to reach.

One of the most widely known group funding sites. Ranging from charity to company support, the site is a vehicle for a wide audience.
