How to ask for feedback from the community

It’s helpful to have extra eyes when creating your fundraiser. You can make it easier for members to review your page by creating a discussion that includes your fundraiser link with details about what you need help with.Here's some ideas:  Spelling and grammar: Is there anything that autocorrect didn’t catch?   Clarity: Is any information missing from your story? Is there any extra information that distracts from the story?  Convincing: Does your story hook your audience early on? Does it build empathy with your reader? Formatting: Is it easy to read? Did you use bold and italic fonts to make parts of your story stand out?  Imagery: Does the image help tell your story? Is it easy for others to tell what they’re looking at?  Title: Does your title describe your situation? Does it capture the reader’s attention? If someone does review your page, please let them know you received their reply. Otherwise they may worry that you never saw their response!  Want to help another memb

How to offer feedback on someone’s fundraiser

Telling your fundraising story can often be intimidating. One way you can help another community member is by reviewing their page and sharing your feedback with them. How to offer feedback: Tell them something they did well, as well as something they could improve on. Be mindful that someone may be going through a tough time, so please be kind with your feedback.   Common areas where people need help:   Spelling and Grammar: Look out for common mistakes like missing punctuation and misspelled words. It’s always worth having a second pair of eyes.  Clarity: Is it obvious why the funds are being raised, who they’re being raised for, and how the money will be spent?  Length:  We usually recommend covering the important details within the first two  paragraphs. Look out for run-on sentences or unrelated details that may distract from the story.  Formatting: Make sure it’s easy to read through the story. It can be helpful to call out any large blocks of text or missing headings. Im

emails

I got an email stating a church could help me. So when I go to the site from my email I cannot find out where they messaged me. Because my email just takes me back to my GoFundMe page but there is no messages

Loving Family

So go fund me used to be able to have platforms where I can pay for them to go post it all over. I can't find anything like that. I posted my friends Instagram and Twitter but that's all I know. For some reason my misunderstanding was that this page would help get me to some other pages. And I posted it in groups on my Facebook.

Is My GFM Story too Long?

My best friend (who encouraged me to start this campaign) read my GFM introduction story and says it’s too long.  I disagree.  I know I can be wordy, but I cut allot out of this appeal before publishing it.  I want to make sure that people who don’t know about the device I’m talking about gets information on the device and on why I need it.  So if anyone is willing, would you please go and read my appeal and tell me if you think it’s too long.  If it is then what should I cut out?  Thank you.https://www.gofundme.com/help-karla-to-see-so-she-can-be-free

Would love some concrete suggestions

Hi, I've had my gofundme me going for a few weeks and still have $0.I never have asked for help in the past and this was very hard for me to do. I've always been the one that other people come to for help. Now my husband has cancer and is out of a job. My son has severe autism and my lungs are so bad the dr gave me just a year to live 3years ago but I've hung on because I knew my family needs me. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I know my family does really need the help so if anyone can give me any concrete advice orsuggestions it would be appreciated greatly! I've posted to the Public  on my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and still nothing.We really don't have any other family or friends who have money to give away so what should I do. I'm feeling pretty hopeless right now.

seeking advice, I’m afraid people will think my gofundme is silly. Would someone also be so kind to share feedback about my fundraiser?

Hello all. As my title states, I’m worried people will just find this silly. It means so much to me and I want to show young girls that they can overcome the hardships I went through.  Could someone also provide feedback regarding my fundraiser? I’m feeling down about it.

Went to the ER again today...

I hate when I get asked if I have Medicaid...once I say yes then all of a sudden I'm getting suggestions to go to some doctors only insurance will cover...not THE DOCTOR that I actually NEED in order to get one surgery done that will fix my problem and not a bunch of little procedures that only my insurance can cover for now and the whole run around crap. I kind of feel stupid for thinking a GoFundMe could help raise money for a good doctor. I don't know anyone and my biological family are strangers to me and my mom just passed away this past month and I'm going through my 3rd eviction now in less than 6 months...I can barely have the energy to wake up to walk my puppy once a day. I feel so weak and hopeless. There's no way a nobody like me will be blessed with random acts of kindness or donations. There's more important and more worthy situations and people and I just thought I would try putting myself out there and ask for help...but now I feel like this wasn't what I Hope'd it be be

Can anyone give me tips on how to write a a description

Ok long story short I created a fundraiser for my husband and myself, and I would like it very much if someone can take a look at it and see what I wrote is bad or good, I tried to put all the details into but not sure if it is good enough if that makes sense. I am horrible at these types of things  I just want some tips or if I need to make any changes

How to keep the momentum going

Hello everyone! I am very new to any sort of crowd funding. My siblings and I created a GoFundMe for our mom as she is currently 2,000+ miles away being treated for Chronic Lyme Disease. She was just recently diagnosed with this disease that has been damaging her body for several years. We launched and shared the page on Sunday around 12:30pm. Over the last few days we have reached over 10% of our goal. This is amazing and we are so very grateful!  However, we are still facing 90% of the treatment cost. How do you keep a page going/draw in more donors? We are just afraid of a plateau.  Thank you for any and all suggestions!
