GoFundMe bans ‘discriminatory’ fundraising activities

Conservative GFM sites are probably out there, but it wouldn't be difficult to set one up. Hire a programmer, get a decent designer, get some great hosting, then get the word out (biggest). Yes, there's more to it than that but that's the gist.

The thing that makes GFM is that they are a known entity and have a lot of press. However, there's still a lot of space for this kind of site. The model is sound. There are probably enough qualified/talented people on this site who could do one AND get the word out.

There are similar sites out there I think, Kickstarter is pretty close technically but focused on something different

Should I spread the word about Samaritan pass or was it just a one shot deal. I don't know what it is. Honestly, it was getting hard donating after the first one, memories pizza, but until Cruz gets in, I guess there's no other option. What a Pyrrhic victory getting repubs in was. Besides Cruz and Lee and a few others.

Samaritan’s Purse is run by the Billy Graham religious organization

Added benefit. You get a tax recipe to claim your donation against your taxes.

Let’s do it!! but I have no programming talent lol. I can do low end graphic and type 90wpm :)
You know Rush, Levin, Dana and others would get the word out. I’d like to see a freeper design it and get his/her own business in the process...could fund conservative movies and other things.

Thanks. I’ll look it up.

They’re cowards. Hopefully they’ll go under.

Opportunity knocks for a site that will fund anything. Let people decide for themselves the whys and wherefores.

[SamuraiScot]

Is there a way to set up a similar company for conservative causes.

A site called indiegogo appears not to discriminate against Christian conservatives. Here's a fund for a Navy chaplain being abused by the brass for preaching the real thing.

I ran across indiegogo because it's also hosting crowdfunding for scholarships to a great boys' boarding school that teaches a classical curriculum and the manly virtues (including poetry recitation, rugby, singing, juggling . . . and joy), Gregory the Great Academy.

Great causes both.

I shall look them up. Thanks.

Which is where a lot of people heard about the site GoFundMe for the first time. The right audience will get the word.

I will not donate through GoFundMe any longer.

I just bought gofundme2.com. see what i can do.

[dp0622]

That’s where I heard! donated an bought a pizza third day they opened up to send to fired dept. Said they couldn’t keep up with business.
There are plenty of us but the media makes it sound like there are so few.
Cruz will unite us.

[jocon307]

There’s a business opportunity here for sure.

[GOPJ]

Sounds like a dog whistle to me...

” ‘discriminatory’ fundraising activities” equals conservative fundraising...

Yep that’s a dog whistle.

"Tolerance.

For liberal views only."

Is there any other kind of tolerance out there?

[informavoracious]

Their new policy appears as though they would not allow funding for places like Memories pizza. That slipped by them only because no law was broken and they won’t let it happen again. Now thoughtcrime alone is sufficient for them to deny funding. And the irony is so thick, you can cut it with a cake knife.
