GoFundMe was quick,secure and easy to use. The online chat function for customer service always was within the thirty minutes as advertised and they were able to answer my question, or would look into it and got gack to me. I’m not a big fan of telephone service, I have a small impairment and am often impatient waiting in line to get a customer service rep. Waiting for an email lets you continue with other projects on your computer or personal device .

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. I recommend gofundme.

One of the most widely known group funding sites. Ranging from charity to company support, the site is a vehicle for a wide audience. Sponsors need to do their own research into the validity of a particular cause.
