Tell GoFundMe to stop blocking fundraising efforts for Gaza

GoFundMe offers a lifeline and support for countless individuals in crisis and need. The platform should do better for the people of Gaza, who are facing forced starvation ever since Israel ended the ceasefire and blocked international aid in March 2025. Since then, the cost of basic goods have skyrocketed. In Gaza, bags of flour are going for around $300 to $500.¹

Advocates, led by the Palestine digital advocacy group 7amleh and including MPower Change and dozens of other groups, are making these immediate demands to GoFundMe:²

  • Reinstate legitimate Gaza-related fundraisers that were unjustly removed or restricted.
  • Release withheld funds and donor lists to campaign organizers.
  • Provide full transparency on verification and compliance processes, including disaggregated data by country and cause.
  • End its discriminatory scrutiny of Palestinian-related fundraisers and apply its policies equally and fairly.
  • Establish a clear and expedited appeals process for fundraisers serving populations in crisis zones, including Gaza.
GoFundMe should be helping mutual aid efforts succeed in distributing funds to people in desperate need, not hindering their efforts.
