(Answer: yes)
So GoFundMe uses info from the public accountability mechanisms when it suits them to collect money, but not when to pass money to donor-desired recipients helping the actual charities?
Slimy.

But press coverage and public outrage is free, and many nonprofits are good at one or both.
I looked up charities I support and it looks like GoFundMe is pulling in the logos of some orgs. Assuming those are trademarked, that would be a pretty simple takedown letter to send.

You’d potentially recover misdirected funding and catch the attention of an attorney general.
You’d also likely get access to a list of duped donors who would have standing to write fraud complaint letters to their respective state attorneys general.
