What it means to report a fundraiser
HopeFundMe is dedicated to empowering people to help others while making sure our platform is safe and secure. Fortunately, fraud on HopeFundMe is rare, and if someone creates a fundraiser with the intention to mislead donors, our team takes swift action.
If you think our team should investigate a fundraiser, please report it to us. If you were a donor, our Trust & Safety team will review your refund request. When a fundraiser is reported, we won’t share the name of the person making the report with the organizer or beneficiary, unless compelled by law or a concern for the safety of our users or others.
Please keep in mind, only fundraisers that violate our terms of service or have a proven misuse of funds will be removed. Personal disputes such as custody or disagreements that don’t violate our Terms of Service will not have action taken.
