GoFundMe shut down this fundraising campaign for violating their terms, in particular "Prohibited conduct".

https://www.gofundme.com/c/terms

I don't have any more details from GFM, but my guess is that the description wasn't clear enough, or just didn't vibe with their work.

In the setup for a campaign they say you can raise funds to distribute to others, but I guess this particular case rings alarm bells.

Anyway, please check below for ways to help out!

UPDATE: they don't allow giving grants.

@evan Maybe it fits an #OpenCollective "project" (if #CosocialCa is over there)?
