Attorneys General Urge GoFundMe to Address Unauthorized Charity Pages
Nearly two dozen attorneys general have called on GoFundMe to address claims of copying charity fundraising pages without permission, potentially for profit. They argue this practice confuses donors and diverts funds from legitimate charities. The AGs demand GoFundMe remove all unauthorized pages, provide full details for each listing, and adjust search results to prioritize official charity sites. GoFundMe responded by highlighting their October 2021 actions, including making nonprofit pages opt-in, deleting unclaimed pages, hiding them from search engines, and disabling optimization tools by default. They emphasize their commitment to transparency and invite further discussions to strengthen ties with the nonprofit sector.
