GoFundMe Reviews

It's a completly platform you need to start a crownfunding donation. Go fund me support also give us step by step to make our campaign succesfull. All you need just follow the instruction then the campaign is published.

There is fees from donation and the fund will be refund to your backer if the campaign not sucessfull. And its only support 19 country in the world. So if you plan to start fundraiser make sure your campaign will be sucessfull.

I like that Gofundme let me know every time someone donated to my fundraiser to assist with unprepared for funeral costs for my husband and I when my mother and father in law both unexpectedly passed away. I like how easy Gofundme was to use to assist with our financial problem we encountered with two funerals to plan when we had no funds instructions or assistance from life insurance etc. gofundme was a godsend for us in our time of need.

The only con I experienced was more of a personal conviction than anything about Gofundme itself, the only con for me was asking other people for help…. Especially at such a traumatic moment. However there’s nothing Gofundme could do to help with my ego / pride or personal dilemma. If you desperately need help fundraising for a good cause I completely recommend Gofundme.

It does what it says it will do--it fundraises. You can set a goal amount and GoFundMe displays how far away you are from the goal which is incentivizing for donors. I also like that you can write updates that shows where the funds have been sent and you can attach an image with the update.

I don't like the high rate GoFundMe takes from your fundraising amount. I've used YouCaring in the past which only charged 1% plus the credit cards fees from the credit card companies. That seemed more reasonable. YouCaring's customer service was also more prompt and well, caring. The interface with GoFundMe also isn't as easy to use as other fundraising sites.

I have used GoFundMe numerous times throughout the years and it has allowed me to share a link all over the world for people to donate to numerous causes, including personal causes. With the easy ability to share your personal GoFundMe account, you can allow people from all over to help support your cause or donate to a tragedy.

I believe the only negative experience is the consistent scams that you come across. Though this is no fault of GoFundMe as it is not always possible to determine scams.

I like the simplicity in the design to set up your fundraiser. It is a very intuitive platform, very easy to navigate for cross-posting to social media and emails as well.

I would like to see the designs for the fundraising landing pages to be updated and more versatile. It would be more appealing if it was somewhat interactive or allowed for more customization.

My organization has been using crowdrise for the past 3-4 years for fundraising. In the past it was very easy to create our campaigns, upload pictures and videos as well as create team fundraisers. Each team was able to track their goals and reach the organization goal together.

Since crowdrise has been merged with gofundme, the interface has become less user friendly. Many of the options that were available before are now available if you updrade to their other plans.

During the refugee crisis in N Iraq this was a great tool for beginners like us to raise money for our many projects.

We transitioned to another company for payment processing that integrates into our website. Over the past year seeing the appalling stands this company made in freezing accounts of people protesting for their basic liberties and deleting accounts of good people deemed not worthy or not politically correct enough, we won't be using their services anymore. Go Woke, Go Broke.

Our nonprofit uses CrowdRise for our largest fundraiser in the winter. Our supporters get to be involved in our fundraising and have their own space to do it. The tools that CrowdRise offers are easy to use and assist in soliciting donations from family and friends.

The CrowdRise layout seems to be constantly updating and changing, which is a good thing, but some users often get confused and have to reach out for help. Luckily, their customer support is amazing.

It was easy to use and send out our message to people.

I do not have anything to complain about here.

GoFundMe is easy to use for raising money for whatever cause you are trying to raise money for. Even if you don't meet your goal you can still keep the money.

The con to using a GoFundMe account is raise money is there is a fee deducted with every transaction.

We liked to use crowdrise for individual fundraising campaigns centered around 1 specific goal or event. Our fundraisers used it for raising money as they did a race, for a specific program, or for raising money to go on an international missions trip. It's great for college students to create peer to peer campaigns for example.

I did not like how this integrated with our website (or rather the lack thereof).

My best friend passed away & I set up a charity fund in order to get the money for her casket & this app made it so easy to do in my time of grieving

I have nothing negative to say about this charity

It is already set up and you can run it with ability to give to your cause. It works for our peer-to-peer fundraising for all our endurance events for now.

Trying to customize and link to partner systems becomes tricky since they want to promote and work on being an all in one system.

I like this service. It’s a great way to bring awareness and to raise funds for various causes and people. I have supported a few causes using this platform.

I didn’t really like that some of the causes people were soliciting funds were frivolous in my opinion. However, you always have the option to keep scrolling! So, I did. I have heard that funds are returned to donors if the cause is fraudulent. So that makes me feel a lot better.

I have found this product quite easy and simple to use. It is a great software to help you stay updated with charities and donate to causes you believe in.

I have not encountered any issues with the software itself. At times I have heard of scams being placed on this to gather money for non charitable causes. However, that is not a software issue but user issue.

I used to like GoFundMe and regularly donated, but no more.

GoFundMe said the Freedom Convoy was violent and a threat and GoFundMe said they would keep over $10 million in donations and distribute the money to charities of their choosing. This is so wrong! Then due to public outcry, GoFundMe said they will return all donations. Too late, they are no longer trustworthy especially since GoFundMe allowed violent groups to collect donations through GoFundMe, groups that last summer rioted, burnt cars and buildings, looted and ransacked businesses, beat people up, etc. Not acceptable behavior for a business, to support such activities and such groups!

I have been using GoFundMe, mainly for fundraising for charity. I found it very effective and easy to share via social media and several platforms. I did manage to get target reach most of the time and helped several times for those who need the fund. I also donated to other fundraising which is quite easy. You don't need to pay commission or whatever and it does it's jobs. The idea is brilliant!

There is nothing much I do not like about this ..but probably for the first time setting up the fundraising account, you need to fill up in details which is reasonable I suppose..so I don't mind at all!

I like being able to search for ways to contribute to causes. Either people I know or sometime just randomly.

I honestly can't say anything negative. I have donated to many causes. My sister set one up for her son after an injury..

Easy to use

No cons!

I enjoy how easy it is to use this software. It has components which are recognizable and intuitive, making the system easy to use and manage. It’s simple and simplistic to use.

There is nothing that I dislike about this software.

This app was sent to me through a few different friends who were setting up charity raising for specific purposes to help family or friends. It was easy to use. I was concerned at first about giving my credit card information, but I did it the first time and after that I responded to a few others that I received from friends.

I really did not want to give my credit card information. But it seems there was not any other way to do it.

The whole platform is helpful, as it's an easy way to help a charity raise money, and get people the help they need. Customer service is as well, though with a few bad eggs. It doesn't stop from using it again and again, though.

Customer service. Not every worker is rude, but there are a few bad eggs that will be extremely rude and unhelpful.

Can't be hacked by other internet users and one may not see the donor apart from the administrator

Everything is good and ok keep it up because it's reliable

It was easy to set up a fund for our cause.

I do not have anything to complain about.
