I donated 25, paid the fees, etc. so the total was $28. My refund was for $22. Just an FYI. I plan to try to contact them but am not optimistic.

The Great Awakening @Robert55· Canada News http:// GOFUNDME.COM USERS PLEASE READ THIS: ❗️❗️❗️❗️Do not use the http://gofundme.com refund form. Issue a charge-back/open a dispute with your bank, this way, gofundme will have to pay 15USD, or more, for each charge-back request, plus the refund value. This is how all banks work.
Please share this as much as possible. If we're successful, gofundme will regret doing this because they'll lose tons of money.
491 UPDATE: GoFundMe to refund all Freedom Convoy 2022 donations (2/5/2022) The update we issued earlier (below) enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process. We will automatically refund all contributions directly — donors do not need to submit a request. You can expect to see your refund within 7–10 business days. GoFundMe Statement on the Freedom Convoy 2022 Fundraiser (2/4/2022)
GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created. We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.
To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground. Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform. Organizers provided a clear distribution plan for the initial $1M that was released earlier this week and confirmed funds would be used only for participants who traveled to Ottawa to participate in a peaceful protest. Given how this situation has evolved, no further funds will be directly distributed to the Freedom Convoy organizers — we will work with organizers to send all remaining funds to credible and established charities chosen by the Freedom Convoy 2022 organizers and verified by GoFundMe. ❗️All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022 using this dedicated refund form.❗️
