Untrustworthy and unresponsive.

No, I thought this was a free service since it was through a volunteer organization, however they take 8% of the donations. If this were the case I wouldn’t have asked my family and friends to donate through their platform. I would have just created my own page. Very sneaky.

I asked them for clarification via their contact/support page and have not received a response in 3 days.

Easy to create campaign - Easy to raise money

I found Fund & Seek a very user-friendly platform - I created my volunteer abroad funding campaign with ease and quickly started raising money. I had a couple of questions along the way and the Fund & Seek team were prompt with their response and extremely helpful. I funded enough money for my trip to Asia and I would definitley crowd-fund again if I had another need to in the future.

Unacceptable and unreliable

Unacceptable and unreliable! Our cousin has been in a serious accident in Thailand and everybody is sharing and trying to donate but this website has been down for hours! Serious waste of precious time and potential donations to get her the treatment she needs as nobody can make a donation currently. Will be opening up a new page with a more reliable fundraising site!

Piece of cake!

Talk about taking away the potential headaches of fundraising! Over the years I have raised money in a variety of different methods and this was by far the most seamless. Two thumbs up! Will use again for sure.

Great website, would use again.

This website had everything we needed, the Facebook integration helped a lot to get the word out. Would recommend to anyone needing crowdfunding for their cause.

Good effective fundraising service

Used this to fundraise for my first trip to Kenya in 2016. Managed to raise the total amount from friends and family within 3 weeks. I would recommend the platform to others.

Excellent site that took the hassle out of fundraising

5 stars + recommended

A friend used Fund and Seek in the summer when he went teaching abroad and he recommended it for my trip.
Starting a campaign was super easy but I found donations quite hard to get until I contacted friends and family directly.
It was easy to make changes during the time when I was fundraising, even when my end date and goal amount changed halfway through.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for using our service and for your kind words.
We're pleased you found what you needed with regards to changing details of your campaign, and it's great you managed to successfully raise funds from your family and friends. We always encourage fundraisers to reach out to these people first as they are the most likely to donate.
All the best!

Excelent!

I fundraised using Fund and Seek for my recent volunteering trip. They had some really good tips on how to fundraise successfully (like who to contact/events to hold) as it is harder than I expected. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to raise money for their volunteering trip.

Disappointing

Not a lot of the money I made come to me went on fees.

Hi Krystal,

We were happy to see you raised your full target for your campaign.
We invest a lot of time and money into making sure our campaigns raise more than on those on other websites, so we'd like to think we played a part in you reaching your goal.

I'm not sure if your statement about our fees is fair and that not a lot of money you raised went to you.
If you received any less than 92-93% of your donations then I’d be happy to look into this as a technical issue for you. This includes our 5% fee and a standard credit card processing fee which is taken by the bank.

Our fees are the same as the majority of other fundraising websites, and as I mentioned above it allows us to provide the technology we do to help make campaigns like yours successful.

I hope your volunteering trip goes as well as hoped - please feel free to get back to me if you have further questions about our website or fees.
