“I do know that gofundme does take 5% of whatever is collected as its fee.”

Sounds fair. It’s orders of magnitude less than is taken by Wounded Warrior, United Way, Susan Komen,,,etc,,,

No objections to the fee from me, but for some people it’s an issue, so I thought I would mention it.

I just don’t like to give out my credit card info to everyone under the sun. Never know where it will end up.

Actually, quite fair. This fundraiser only takes credit cards. Some fundraisers take PayPal, as well.

There is a CC transaction fee for every donation.
I’m guessing 2-3%

That means Go Fund Me only a a spread of @ 2%.

Quite reasonably.

However, I wish this Fund Raiser offered PayPal payments too.
