Good but charge too much fee with each transaction. The website was easy to setup and they were good about forwarding the funds on the 1st of each month of the fundraiser. However, the people that donated complained about how much GiveForward was actually collecting off of each donation. I agreed. Next time I will find a free website to collect funds for such a good cause

Better off asking people for money directly. The following is my opinion. Do your own research. If you look through their current listings for donations you can not find your own page. Instead digging through you find dozens upon dozens of garbage listings with random letters and characters. The hand full of people who are featured on the site never seem to change. It's almost like they are either fake or incredibly lucky to have been featured. Who knows why they get the lucky break. Others linger and suffer with no donations even though they have cross posted everywhere. The general public never sees your page. Only those that you give your link. You could just ask people for money directly instead of sharing with this crummy site. The misleading part is that giveforward suggests that you donate to yourself to "encourage" others. Well we did that. We NEEDED money for my wifes chemo. The only people who donated were ourselves and a family member. Good job GF... stealing FEES from a chemo patient.

dishonesty in fundraising Giveforward allows fraud by not checking accuracy of requests-see Koltin Binford fundraising request.

Review of give Forward My brother was diagnosed with tongue cancer about 3 months after being laid off....we needed to find raise asap and used GF. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.....I understand fees but for 8% of what we raise the customer service is slow, I always have to leave a message and be threatening to get a quick call back and they are not helpful. They shared our posts and other information on the social media without consent and said we had to opt out vs opt in (it should be the other way around)...so we had no idea until private updates went public (HIPPA violations). I cannot retrieve my password and when I asked for help it took 30 min to get someone to know that they could easily reset my password for me when it was a very very simple task. I could go on and on and on....use someone else or figure out a way to get donations directly on Facebook or somewhere where the fees aren't this high and get nothing for it.

Inconsistent, horrible support and crappy interface When we first looked at this format it looked good. We also called them on the phone and spoke to them a couple of times. I thought the 8% fee was a bit high but they said it was because they included coaching. When we were finally ready to upload our info, this is when we discovered EVERYTHING changed. They are no longer available via phone and only communicate through email. The recipient of our site has series brain issues when dealing with text so this new policy makes it EXTREMELY difficult to communicate. They also changed the format of the way the page looks and made it more like social media. One of the reasons we went with them was due to their “other” interface. They claimed the new one brought in more funds but I seriously doubt it. Add to this they still charge 5% for NO COACHING!!! Just email support. Hell, i could have figured out the interface on my own for 5%. I should have gone to Youcaring but we were already invested so we stuck it out. I DO NOT recommend this site or format or staff to anyone as it will only cause you more stress than your going through. I also don’t know how in the hell they got 4 stars but if you read their latest ratings...you’ll see others are not happy either!
