GoFundMe Financial Update (Stack Exchange)
I have now received all related bills and can report final numbers for the GoFundMe campaign.
GoFundMe takes a fee of 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction, as described in their help.
Income
| GoFundMe, less fees | 24,450.14 |
| Outside donations | 229.03 |
| TOTAL | 24,679.17 |
Expenses
| Donation refund (misunderstanding with one donor) | 100.00 |
| Legal services | 16,582.50 |
| TOTAL | 16,682.50 |
The difference, $7,996.67, was donated to The Trevor Project. Check was mailed on February 6.
Update, March 3
I have received a receipt from the Trevor Project confirming the donation (below).
Update, Febuary 13
I posted the following update on GoFundMe but it is not visible to contributors like their help said it would be. Sigh. Here is the text:
The Trevor Project has not yet processed the check I sent last week, but they have confirmed that they will send me a publishable receipt when they do, which I expect to be soon. I will post that at https://www.cellio.org/stack-gofundme.html. If you want me to notify you when that happens, email me at after-stack@cellio.org.
Thank you everybody for your support!
