[$] GoFundMe to delete unwanted open-source foundation pages
Friday October 24, 2025. 01:44 PM , from LWN.net
Open-source foundations and projects that have charity status in
the US may want to see if GoFundMe has created a profile for them without permission. The company has operated since 2010 as a self-service fundraising platform; individuals or groups could create pages to raise money for all manner of causes. In June, the company announced that it would expand its offerings to 'manage all aspects of charitable giving' for users through its platform. That seems to include creating profiles for nonprofit organizations without their involvement. After pushback, the company said on October 23 that it would be removing the pages. It has not answered more fundamental questions about how it planned to disburse funds to nonprofits that had no awareness of the GoFundMe pages in the first place.
