The Ultimate Crowdfunding Site

YouCaring helped me to exceed all goals of my fundraiser. Also, they didn't charge me anything! This site is user-friendly and feature-rich.

Amazing!

YouCaring helped us raise $10,000 for our adoption. It was easy to use, we could thank donors right away and keep them posted with updates, and the fees were the cheapest we found for crowd funding. We love YouCaring!!

Great website for YouCaring

I think it is very user friendly, easy to set-up and like being able to send thank yous either via email or Facebook. Have been very happy with this site to help us with the costly medical expenses that we have.

Best fundraising tool on the web

YouCaring stands who they are. It was a blessing for two of my fundraisers, especially for my wedding. Easy to setup and an amazing tool with a desire to help people see their dreams comes true.

Excellent Tool for Fundraising

YouCaring was a great tool for fundraising to help renovate a wheelchair accessible trail. (@SpottedSalamanderTrail on Facebook) The site was easy to use and the processing fees were extremely reasonable.

YouCaring is a fantastic. Highly recommend.

YouCaring is a great platform for raising money. We chose them because of the clean, straight-forward design and how simple it is for someone to donate (ex: one screen, no login required). Throughout our fundraiser, we have been consistently impressed with the customer service and the people we've come in contact with. They truly embody the phrase "compassionate fundraising." Highly recommend.

Very user friendly

I felt that this was a great way to help families with the financial burden and stress that they may feel when someone in their family has become tragically ill. I found it to be easy to complete and a great way for those donating to communicate with the family. This allowed friends and loved ones from near and far to help with medical costs and expenses as well as travel or accomodations that would otherwise be an extra worry for them. I appreciated the ability to log on and add information as needed like updates and pictures. Thank you for your assistance!

Helpful and easy to use

As a small farm and farmer undergoing surgery, we didn't want to make our customers donate and pay extra for the donation, and we wanted to get the most out of their donations. You Caring, after some helpful information and research, and asking others who have used it- was really what we were looking for. We were able to reach our customers who couldn't donate via check, or reach a base further than our normal range and help us meet expenses while the key player/owner of the farm was recovering from hip surgery. Thank you.

Did not provide adequate information to make fund visible.

YouCaring did not explain you had to reach a limit so the fund was available through searching so MANY friends and acquaintances did not believe my fund raiser was real. I am a middle age women who was a junior executive prior to my car accident. My lawyer betrayed me dismissing my case leaving me in a wheelchair. My high school group, several hundred strong, were also unable to get to my page. I would never recommend your site to anyone.

Hi Sue,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I apologize about the poor experience you had on our site. We have been able to make several changes to our site since your fundraiser. A fundraiser is now searchable through YouCaring even if you have yet to raise $1. I'm sorry to hear about your situation, the YouCaring team will keep you in our thoughts. If there's anything else you would like to share please reach out to help@youcaring.com.

Easy to Use

It was easy to setup a fundraising page and it allowed flexibility for the site to be created by someone but linked to the actual person. For example, a friend could setup the page on someone's behalf. No one had any payment problems or issues with the site.

Excellent to work with. Highly recommend to everyone.

We had an excellent experience with Youcaring. We were able to meet our crowdfunding goal and had full trust that the money donated would make it to our personal bank account. There were no hidden fees or surprises. We will definitely use Youcaring again for any crowdfunding needs we may have as we serve as missionaries in Nicaragua.
