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 ----- ### "Go fund me review" — 5.0/5 > **Brandon** | *24 March 2025* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the ability to make it easy to post when someone needs help > > **Cons**: not being able to put as much detail in the asking > > i have had a great experience with gofundme ----- ### "No recommended. Borderline scam." — 1.0/5 > **Johann Josef** | *3 April 2024* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Their marketing. It looks real even though the company is not. > > **Cons**: Payment of contributions never happens. If you want to support any muslim or brown people, get ready for a lot of intrusive questions as to WHY you'd want to do that. > > Highly negative. After setting up the fundraiser, the very first message from GFM was that my account was under review until I respond to seven (7) open-ended intrusive questions, which I did immediately. Have yet to hear back from them. This was a fundraiser for muslim friends of mine, currently trapped in Gaza and literally starving. GoFundMe does not care. They are very 'politically correct' and probably also a scam. ----- ### "Good for fundraising needs" — 4.0/5 > **Ayano** | *1 August 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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. > > It's been a good experience thus far. I think that the reputation of GoFund me has allowed it to be a reliable app for fundraising needs\! ----- ### "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.co.uk/software/67773/crowdrise?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/67773/crowdrise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
