That threw me off a little, but then again I hardly ever use it.  I think so, the way it asks for such a huge % as default puts me off from ever doing so tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I've seen some charity platforms ask you to continue "extra" to cover the admin cost for that specific cause, which I think is a reasonable thing to ask for. It's not phrased as it being "a tip" though and it's not 15% for sure. Weird. Â I also don't recall gofundme doing this. I ran one for a friend of mine whose house burned down and knowing some of the people who contributed, I expect I would have heard if they'd been asked for tips.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 They’ve been doing it for a while. I think the last one I donated to was for a mass shooting last year(sad that I can recall which one) and it asked for a tip. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Ok, I just donated again. Brie really needs to get out of Florida and her goal is to move to Colorado next year.  Let's get her more money to expedite the process. I would really appreciate more donations! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I would if I could, dear friend. Not working for like the first 4 months of the year really wiped me out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
