Great for leaving a lasting impression!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mostly use GoFundMe for disaster relief and special needs funding. It is a great platform for us to share a message of what our needs are and how much we support we are looking for. This is used across the whole organization and allows us to include marketing materials for a call of action. This addresses time management for us, whereas with other platforms we are required to put in more time to manage reports and payments.

Pros

  • Call of action marketing
  • Progress thermometer or meter
  • Great place for comments by donors

Cons

  • Stricter accountability for legitimacy.

Return on Investment

  • Brought in new donors from outside our solicitation area.
  • Appeals to younger audiences.
  • Great way to include client testimonials and stories.
