    Another option to consider, which I think is more of a win win than a GoFundMe page is Neighbors Fundraising for Neighbors (www.nf4n.org) Anyone can set up a free page if they are fundraising for medical expenses or travel, including conferences. Anyone who donates, since it is a 501c3 will receive a tax donation receipt which some people prefer. NF4N takes a small percentage.

    Personally, we have had a page on NF4N for over 2 years. We have fundraised for an addition we built for Ray, repairs to our handicap accessible van, ceiling lift system, and outdoor lifts. Now, we will be fundraising for service dog training for Ray’s new puppy.

    Some family and friends did not send us checks to help with Ray before NF4N but a few send money in regularly as part of their donations to charities at the end of the year, for a birthday, etc. I highly recommend NF4N as an option.

    I just want to let you know that we have been using Neighbors Fundraising For Neighbors (http://www.NF4N.org) an IRS approved 501 C 3 charity to help us do community fundraising for a number of projects that we have needed financial help with.

    These people have been very responsive to us and have immediately informed us of all donations that have been made on our behalf. Also, they give us a monthly accounting of all money that has come into our account.

    Check them out on their website, http://www.NF4N.org,  and or email them at [email protected] if you want to contact them for more information .
