Last week, GoFundMe quietly created 1.4 million pages for U.S. charities — without consent. These pages can collect donations, but many nonprofits don’t even know they exist, and the info on them may be outdated or incorrect.
Here’s what you can do right now: ✅ Go to GoFundMe and search your organization’s name or EIN. ✅ If you find a page, claim it. ✅ Check the payout settings and update your mission, logo, and links. ✅ If you don’t want to use it, turn off the public view and submit a removal request. ✅ Let your donors know where the real donation link is.
This isn’t about resisting technology; it’s about protecting donor trust and making sure funds actually reach your mission.
