Most donations on GoFundMe are personal gifts between family & friends and not usually tax deductible. Only donations made to a 'Certified Charity' campaign may be eligible for tax deductions. We recommend you consult with a tax professional about your specific situation.

The quickest way to support a campaign is by giving online using your credit card or debit card. GoFundMe is unable to accept a check or payment by telephone.
When you donate to a campaign on GoFundMe, the money is immediately available to the organizer. You will need to contact the campaign organizer directly to request a refund.
Most giving on GoFundMe happens between people who already know & trust each other. If you're not sure about making a donation, wait until you have more information about the campaign.
To alert you of all card activity, your statement will temporarily display attempted payments - even if the payment was not completed. The pending charge should clear within 72 hours. If not, please contact us.
When donating there will be an option to hide your name from appearing publicly. However, your donation will be visible to the person who organized the campaign.
