It gives it more humanistic feel. I like also that they’re able to see other people comment which makes it more Personal > > **Cons**: GoFundMe does not offer any tools or resources to help you promote your campaign or reach your fundraising goal. > > We hit our target which was the goal so that was great ----- ### "GoFundMe is a non-profits dream" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 July 2021* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: Customer service. Not every worker is rude, but there are a few bad eggs that will be extremely rude and unhelpful. > > It was a positive one. As I said, their very helpful if you have trouble with anything on the platform, and it's a great way to help people. ----- ### "GoFundMe not trustworthy" — 1.0/5 > **Laura** | *6 February 2022* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used to like GoFundMe and regularly donated, but no more. > > **Cons**: 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 feel betrayed. I will never donate on GoFundMe ever again\! ----- ### "Easy to use crownfunding Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *3 May 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. ----- ### "Has helped saved my Mother" — 5.0/5 > **Nicky** | *5 April 2024* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I currently am using GoFundMe to help care for my mom. She has Stage 4 Lung Cancer and this helps pay for medical bills. Every couple days we are able to cash out. > > **Cons**: The % rate is kind of high of what they take from what especially being a non profit they shouldn’t be making any money from our problems. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/67773/crowdrise?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/67773/crowdrise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
