Excellent customer service!
September 21, 2018

I needed help with my account and submitted a request. I was shocked at how quickly the customer service representative responded to my request. It was less than five minute and she continued responding to all my questions until everything was resolved! The rep was polite and very helpful. Thank you, GoFundMe!

They have been there for me as frequently as ten times in a 24-hour cycle. Their responses have been very helpful and they always leave me a link. I love 'em.

Good service and lots of helpful information. I understand that GoFundMe is not
Setup to run campaigns for people but to give them the opportunity to do so themselves.

I needed a refund. My project was no longer listed. I wrote a message to GFM and immediately received a reply. Within hours My project was reinstated and I was given instructions as to how to withdraw the funds. I hope one day to be able to post this most worthy project of painting a mural in Cuba!

Excellent programs

Enjoy working with everyone in the program. They work really hard to get the go fund together. Security is tight but that's ok.

I am just an old guy with a computer and I don't understand a lot of the technical stuff so I had problems understanding how to fill out applications and when I asked for customer support they replied to my enquiry quickly and were very understanding. All my follow up questions were answered promptly and all my problems have been resolved.

Gofundme.com
September 20, 2018

I recently had an unfortunate issue with facebook managing a fundraising campaign and had to create a gofundme account instead. To make sure I didn't have the same problems as I did with facebook and their policies, I asked gofundme customer support to reassure me if my campaign was valid and if there was anything I should modify. Celine was supper helpful and very informative. She gave me confidence that my fundraising was a good cause and she even gave me tips on how to help raise donations more efficiently. It was the first time that I felt that I was actually speaking to someone who listened thoroughly and gave me her most professional and friendly advise. It never seemed as if someone was reading off the answer to frequent questions from a manual, as it usually is with other customer service websites. This was real talk. Love it! And I'm so glad that people like her work for a website that helps individuals and charities to reach their goals in helping great causes. Every customer service should be the same way. Dedicated!

The UI could be better on the site, but whenever I ran into a problem and emailed Customer Service, I got an answer--a helpful answer--within half an hour and often less. A real, live person. Not a chatbot or having to ask my question to "The Community" as with other sites.

I wanted to change the initial picture of my campaign to a more updated one. Kaley responded within hours, and then Kim stepped up to the plate when Kaley was unavailable over the weekend. They both teamed up to help me and my request was make. Thank you both for your help!

Jenna was awesome. She was very responsive and gave me specific solutions to try, and it worked. I thought it was going to be much more complicated than that so I was happy that it was simple and quick.

I am not very good with computers and every time I reached out to the GoFundMe reps they were very responsive and patient with me. They hung in there with me over the phone doing things step by step. I would not hesitate to use them at any time.
