What do you like best about GoFundMe?

GoFundMe gave me an easy-to-use platform for fundraising. I like that you can personalize your page, add pictures, write messages and updates, and set and change goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoFundMe?

I dislike that the site appears to have limited filtering or censuring, in terms of what content does and does not qualify to use the platform. They could do more to eliminate spam-like content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gofundme: one of the gems of the internet "
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoFundMe?

What I like best about GoFundMe is the ability to crowdsource for compassionate causes for individuals, animals, and other causes across the world with an easy to use interface with quick, seamless transactions that also integrate on social media. A lot of social media integration is extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoFundMe?

What I dislike about GoFundMe is that there needs to be an innovative solution to verify claims to weed out the phony or fraudulent crowdsource/fundraising because unfortunately, this happens from time to time and it is quite awful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GoFundMe is a great program for use when raising money. This truly brings our the best in people. I have seen thousands of donations to causes from across the globe. Gofundme helps people in all situations and allows anyone to donate to any cause, no matter where they are in the world. Overall it is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoFundMe?

There is a percentage of money gofundme takes from donations. This takes away money from the cause and charity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GoFundMe?

Effective and efficient way to raise funds and awareness of a situation and take action Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoFundMe?

There is no accountability check to determine if the fundraiser is authentic. (Such as obituary, news of a disaster, certified amount of need). Some folks may know the person but others may not know random person/event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Go Fund Me Review"
4/5
What do you like best about GoFundMe?

It allows for fundraising and cause awareness in a new approach with creativity and having all thoughts and facts organized. The link to share the fundraising works in many different platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoFundMe?

I dislike that there aren’t more options of how to and where to share the link to fund. With more options of sharing the information more people from different places could use it to fund people possibly even across the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing crowd funding site"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoFundMe?

I love that they do not charge a 5% platform fee! Also, the set up process is very easy. It is a simple step by step process. It is also linked to facebook so it is easy to share on social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoFundMe?

That it has two names associated with it. It can be confusing as I had people ask me if it is giveforward or youcaring. I am not sure why there are two different names. Maybe there is a legitimate reason but I don't know of it. So when we were trying to spread the word to raise funding and I was telling people to go to giveforward (when spreading by word of mouth) some people were saying to go to youcaring. So there was mixed messaged being spread. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
