SAN ANGELO, TX — GoFundMe has launched a centralized online hub of verified fundraisers to help people impacted by the recent flooding in San Angelo and surrounding areas.
The Flooding Relief Hub is continuously updated by GoFundMe’s Trust & Safety team as new fundraisers are verified. The platform aims to make it easier for donors to ensure their contributions go to legitimate causes and help those in need.
“Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the recent flooding in San Angelo," said Melanie Standage, GoFundMe’s manager of communications. "At GoFundMe, we are working around the clock to help ensure the community receives the support they need."
In addition to donating to verified fundraisers, GoFundMe urges people to share the hub link across social media channels to raise awareness, or to start a certified charity fundraiser for organizations providing critical support.
GoFundMe said its team of experts proactively reviews fundraisers during crises to prevent misuse. Each fundraiser goes through an enhanced due diligence process, including human review and technical tools designed to detect fraud. Donations are processed and held by payment partners until the intended beneficiary’s personal information is verified.
GoFundMe also offers the GoFundMe Giving Guarantee, which promises donors a full refund in rare cases when something goes wrong. More information about platform security and tips for donors is available on GoFundMe’s safety hub.
