This is a popular crowdfunding platform was launched in 2010 by Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester with their headquarters located in San Diego. It enables both businesses and individuals to collect donations and create fundraising campaigns. It can be used for charitable endeavors and to help launch new business ventures. Donors are able to contribute monies to campaigns then, once the fundraising goal has been met, recipients can withdraw the money.<\/p><p>GoFundMe advertises itself as being the world\u2019s biggest social fundraising platform having raised over $3billion to date. It doesn\u2019t operate a model that is incentive based but rather sees itself as a unique crowdfunding platform.\u00a0<\/p><p>With so many crowdfunding platforms on the market, it can be difficult

Indiegogo, GoFundMe incorporates a \u2018charitable arm\u2019, which means that funds can be raised for non-profit organizations.\u00a0 GoFundMe is also suitable for any personal causes, more so those in emergencies where funding is needed like yesterday.\u00a0 However, those looking to fund a creative endeavor might be better off looking at one of the other platforms such as Kickstarter which offers specific tips for a successful campaign and has a much thorough help section.<\/p><p>GoFundMe doesn\u2019t insist on providing rewards to backers \u2013 although the option is there if any wishes to do so.\u00a0 The GoFundMe brand is focused on viral charity, with charitable and personal causes making up most of the campaigns. For example, a primary factor in how rapidly GoFundMe has grown is via funding for medical expenses.\u00a0 You could say that GoFundMe has sort of unintentionally become an emergency \u2018stop-gap\u2019 to help plug any unexpected holes.<\/p><p>It must be remembered that not only does GoFundMe help people who find themselves upstream without a paddle, they also host crowdfunding campaigns for business ventures.<\/p><p>Now, GoFundMe has always come under criticism for charging a 5% platform fee \u2013 simply because the argument was that most times funding was required for those in crisis.\u00a0 This then opened the floodgates for their competitors to come in with free platform fees for charitable fundraising.<\/p><p><strong>So, guess what they did???<\/strong><\/p><p>That\u2019s right, on November 30<sup>th<\/sup> back in 2017, GoFundMe made the huge announcement that the would no longer be applying the 5% platform fee!!<\/p><p>To begin with, this only applied to US-based personal campaigns, however, this has now crept out to certified non-profit charity campaigns and to campaigns which are launched in countries in which the platform operates.\u00a0<\/p><p>Keep in mind though, that the payment processor will still receive 2.9% of what is raised.<\/p><p>To replace the 5% platform fee, what GoFundMe has done, is add a \u2018donate to GoFundMe\u2019 button which is located on the page from which donations are taken, in the hope that some of the voluntary tips will help to offset the revenue lost from fees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fd2b86 elementor-button-success elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5fd2b86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xl\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Visit\u202fthe GoFundMe website<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65a8525 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"65a8525\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Ease_of_Use\"><\/span>#1 Ease of Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81bc26d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"81bc26d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>If a crowdfunding site is difficult to use or understand then the chances are that no-one will want to use it.\u00a0 A good way is by having a look at the startup process, if its tough to begin with then this most definitely is not a good sign.\u00a0<\/p><p>So, was GoFundMe a walk in the park or more like a trudge in the mud?<\/p><p><strong>Want to know more\u2026 well, keep reading\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p>The set-up process for starting a fundraising campaign, using GoFundMe is very straightforward and self-explanatory.

Once a campaign is live, updates can be posted to the page.\u00a0<\/p><p>When it comes to withdrawing funds from GoFundMe, a two-factor authentication must be used.\u00a0 Once your email address and the mobile number have been verified, an account must be set up with GoFundMe\u2019s payment processor which is WePay.\u00a0 Your identification will need to be verified together with your legal name, date of birth, address, social security number, and contact number.\u00a0<\/p><p>I must say though, for security reasons, I wasn\u2019t too keen on sharing my entire social security number.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15b4977 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"15b4977\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gofundme-sr-img-02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8937\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gofundme-sr-img-02.jpg 730w, https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gofundme-sr-img-02-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06ad4c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"06ad4c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Creators can choose to offer their donors rewards as it&#8217;s not compulsory.\u00a0 These can be set at various donation levels and the quantities limited.\u00a0 Another great option is being able to set up a \u2018wish list\u2019 of items that are necessary in order to reach the larger goal.\u00a0 For example, if the monies being raised were for a trip away, then you may choose to put a camera on the wish list.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2e419c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a2e419c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Verdict \u2013 GoFundMe is very easy to set up and is basically self-explanatory and provides tips and checklists along the way.

elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Now, let\u2019s have a look at GoFundMe from a donor\/backer perspective.\u00a0<\/p><p>GoFundMe pledges that unlike many other crowdfunding sites, aside from the fee for payment processing, no other charges will be applied to donors.\u00a0<\/p><p>GoFundMe clarifies this on their site by stating that <em>\u2018Sites claiming to be \u2018100% Free\u2019 will charge your donors up to 15% and you\u2019ll still need to pay 3% for processing. GoFundMe will never charge your donors anything\u2019.<\/em><\/p><p>It should be noted that there are two different types of fundraising campaigns that can be conducted using GoFundMe. Most of the time the majority of GoFundMe Campaigns fall under the bracket of being personal ones.\u00a0 These include raising funds for a beneficiary, for a personal cause as well as business fundraisers.\u00a0<\/p><p>Certified Charity Campaigns, however, are essentially very different. They allow creators to set up campaign fundraisers for any charity they want to.\u00a0<\/p><p>What makes Certified Charity campaigns different to those of Personal campaigns is that they are processed via a PayPal Giving Fund \u2013 which is a public charity.\u00a0 What this means, is that when donors make a donation, they will be given a tax-deductible receipt plus the organizer of the campaign won\u2019t have to touch the money. This then leads on to an important point that can often be missed by donors.\u00a0 Donations to a Personal Campaign (which most of GoFundMe\u2019s are) are NOT tax-deductible because GoFundMe isn\u2019t a non-profit.<\/p><p>As I mentioned earlier on in this review, it isn\u2019t compulsory to offer donors rewards.\u00a0 It is, however, something that can be done and is recommended as the chances are it will improve the chances of raising more money for the campaign. Rewards can only be applied to Personal campaigns and reward levels can be set as desired.<\/p><p><strong>The Figures<\/strong><strong>\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Like many other crowdfunding platforms GoFundMe takes 5% from each donation and also adds on the payment processing fee from its third-party service. GoFundMe uses WePay and they take a percentage of 2.9 together with a 30-cent fee for each payment.\u00a0<\/p><p>International fees do vary depending on location.\u00a0 If used for charitable purposes, GoFundMe will take 5% from each donation. I would probably suggest looking at a platform such as Indiegogo for charitable donations as they waive fees for all charitable projects and simply passes on the payment processing fees.<\/p><p>Illustrated below is a brief synopsis of GoFundMe\u2019s terms and fees:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9c3717 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9c3717\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>GoFundMe does have some restrictions \u2013 but none that are unusual.\u00a0<\/p><p>These include no graphic content, pornography, illegal activities, gambling or hate speech.\u00a0 Aside from that, GoFundMe is a really flexible crowdfunding platform and doesn\u2019t have any formal approval processes, unlike platforms such as Kickstarter.\u00a0<\/p><p>Otherwise, GoFundMe is very flexible and has no formal approval process like Kickstarter does.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-713c4e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"713c4e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Verdict \u2013 GoFundMe has pretty standard fees to that of its competitors, however, it offers much more flexibility than other platforms, giving the creator much more control.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89c4e89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"89c4e89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_GoFundMe_the_right_crowdfunding_platform_for_you\"><\/span>Is GoFundMe the right crowdfunding platform for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e410f93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e410f93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Of course, GoFundMe won\u2019t be the correct crowdfunding platform for everyone, so let&#8217;s try to get down to who precisely this platform is best suited to.\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>Budget<\/strong><\/h3><p>GoFundMe is perfect for those on a budget.\u00a0 Because GoFundMe makes fee deductions in real time, organizers and beneficiaries never pay anything. What happens is that any deductions are made before the donation is made available to the campaign.\u00a0 Many countries already have a platform fee of 0% on this crowdfunding platform. Credit card processing fees are pretty standard and those donating are given the option to pay these as well during their payment.<\/p><h3><strong>Beginners<\/strong><\/h3><p>GoFundMe is a solid foundation for beginners who are looking to raise funds from both group-based or individual perspectives.\u00a0 It is easy to set up and use, has fewer fees and allows creators to share their campaigns on social networks to increase awareness.<\/p><h3><strong>High-Level<\/strong><\/h3><p>GoFundMe can be used for businesses; however, it does brand itself as being more focused on personal and charitable causes.\u00a0 For high-level businesses or those that have a solid Facebook presence, then I would probably suggest looking at a platform such as Fundly.\u00a0 The costs might be higher, but your story will be presented in a unique way to that of all other major crowdfunding platforms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6662aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b6662aa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summary <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86affd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86affd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Well, that\u2019s it I\u2019m now nearing towards the end of this review and I hope that it has given you an overall idea what GoFundMe is about and what if has to offer.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing though that the final and most important question is \u2013 Is GoFund Me THE ONE, I mean the right crowdfunding platform for YOU and your funding?<\/p><h3><strong>What can I say?<\/strong><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0405a3 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-view-icon-text elementor-blockquote--button-skin-classic elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"f0405a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tGoFundMe really is a solid, flexible resource for backing personal causes, from tuition to medical expenses or perhaps a dream trip away.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=GoFundMe+really+is+a+solid%2C+flexible+resource+for+backing+personal+causes%2C+from+tuition+to+medical+expenses+or+perhaps+a+dream+trip+away.&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fentrepreneursgateway.com%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F8930\" class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-button\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-blockquote__tweet-label\">Tweet<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f60fcc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f60fcc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>It doesn\u2019t require any deadlines or minimum funding amount, which means that creators are able to keep all funds regardless of whether the goal is reached or not. It includes superb integration with social media networks, is easy to set up and use and includes fab tracking features.\u00a0 A word of advice though, for those seeking creative endeavours, I would recommend a crowdfunding platform such as Kickstarter which does offer a lot more guidance.\u00a0<\/p><p>GoFundMe\u2019s ambitions are rather grand, and it has been proven to be an extremely invaluable resource for those it has helped due to its specific conception around crowdfunding.<\/p><p>To any entrepreneurs reading this, I would say that perhaps a crowdfunding platform such as Kickstarter might be more appropriate for those seeking funding for creative and tech projects, only due to them offering a higher level of support together with a greater pool of backers who are more likely to fund business orientated projects. Having said that an entrepreneur might set up with GoFundMe and have a really successful campaign \u2013 who knows??<\/p><p>For those that have relied on GoFundMe to cover medical emergency costs and tragedies, the platform really is a Godsend.\u00a0 With numbers of such cases rising every day, GoFundMe needs to be recognized for all their efforts in promoting viral charities. Their decision to waive the 5% platform fee simply enhances their willingness to respond to their user&#8217;s needs.\u00a0<\/p><p>So, my final words on GoFundMe is that we have to, in a way root for them as one day we might find ourselves relying on them for survival\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb4c021 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cb4c021\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"329\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gofundme-sr-img-09.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8944\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gofundme-sr-img-09.jpg 329w, https:\/\/entrepreneursgateway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/gofundme-sr-img-09-300x251.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-03970a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"03970a3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1763a88\" data-id=\"1763a88\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6989bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-6471 elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6989bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3><i><b>Disclaimer<\/b><\/i><\/h3><p>(The EntrepreneursGateway.com team are committed to produce independent, thoroughly researched and comprehensive guides and reviews for the best products and services that will help you in your business and your life.
