GoFundMe recently created unauthorized donation pages for over 1.4 million U.S. nonprofits without their knowledge or consent. After discussions with the National Council for Nonprofits, GoFundMe has agreed to remove these pages and publicly provide instructions on how to remove the pages that organizations claimed while trying to address this issue. Read GoFundMe’s full statement here.

Forefront will continue work with our national partners at the National Council of Nonprofits to monitor the situation and will continue to provide guidance. Please read Forefront’s full statement here.

Forefront recommends the following immediate action for nonprofits:

• Check if your organization has an unauthorized GoFundMe page.
• Decide whether to claim, edit, or request removal of the page.
