Ep #26 I The Last Word on the GoFundMe Debacle

Description

We’re back with Season 2!

We dive right into the GoFundMe fiasco: what actually happened, why it rubbed so many nonprofits the wrong way, and how the apology somehow made it worse. We talk about tipping, SEO, missing money, and what happens when tech companies forget to ask permission.

Raimy shares a tepid/lukewarm take on the debacle: that the damage wasn’t about lost dollars; it was about lost trust.

We talk about why keeping things simple still wins, why “sorry” is a complete sentence, and why every platform that serves nonprofits needs to listen before it launches.


Give it a listen and tell us what you think.
