To simplify the process for our users, we will be refunding all donations to the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser. This refund will happen automatically—you do not need to submit a request. Donors can expect to see refunds within 7-10 business days.
Didn’t like the charge back wave coming to them
Also, the potential law suits. Why 7 days in this day and age?
Shouldn’t they change their name to GoFundMarxists?
They just avoided a lawsuit. I bet their legal department got to them. “You ****ing idiots! You can’t steal your customers’ money and be this brazen about it.”
Better optics for them.
FU GoFundMe, won’t ever use your services ever again, bet.
Those quick points they tried to score with the Left vanished in a hurry when they realized how high the credit card dispute bill was about to get. :)
They are evil sick people. GFM needs to go down. The management needs to work for McDonalds.
“..Didn’t like the charge back wave coming to them...”
Exactly. ALWAYS follow the money trail.
People should do the charge back to them anyway.
I think I read somewhere that it costs them about $15/charge back to process it. IF everyone that donated did this, it would probably put em completely out of business.
So by doing this, they’re trying to stay afloat....whadda bunch of lib dumbazzes.
Do the charge back anyway.
GoFundMarxists is a very apt term to describe this Leftist company.
Wire fraud charges would have been tough to deny if they took money for one cause then gave it to another. Gofundme is another tech company infected with wokeness.
The better option now is ‘givesendgo.’ Why is any conservative using GoFMe.
Any conservative who uses the site should understand it as GoF***Me.
I'm sure their phone lines and inboxes were flooded

The update we issued earlier enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations.
Cowards.
Trying to avoid millions in fees and lawsuits.
I hope this backfires, BIGLY!!
Exactly. Plus there was talk about imvestigating for fraud.
What is the alternative to goF***me?
“Didn’t like the charge back wave coming to them
Exactly! Refunds plus 15.00 per donation. It should cost them. I hope plenty if people called their cc company first.
They quickly realized that they picked on the wrong crowd and quailed at the thought of a convoy of truckers headed for Redwood City.
