Truckers occupying downtown Ottawa have adopted GiveSendGo as their new fundraising platform after the GoFundMe platform closed off access to $10 million in donations.
On Friday, GoFundMe announced the convoy would be cut off from $10 million raised to support the truckers because the money was going towards “the promotion of violence and harassment” in contravention of its terms of service.
The California-based initially said contributions would be given back to donors who applied for a refund, and that unclaimed monies would be sent to charities verified by GoFundMe.
But following a barrage of complaints from angry donors, the crowdsourcing company changed direction. On Saturday morning, it said all contributions will be automatically refunded directly to donors within seven to 10 business days.
