i am having SERIOUS problems with Fundable. My fundraiser was over a month ago and still no payment. $600 basically stolen!
I had exceeded my goal and now my donors are MAD at me because they think I pocketed the funds for something we needed weeks ago. But Fundable is who pocketed those funds.

It has said “Payment has been disbursed to the group leader.” since 3/30/09 but nothing has been dispursed.

FURIOUS.

i think its absolutely despicable that this site/guy charges as much as 10% for this ’service’

all people have to do i set up a simple webpage (for next to nothing) or just send a mass email WITHOUT a link to his worthless website, but with a link to their paypal account. they can post images and tell their whole fundraising story in the email… why do they need his phony site to take 10%… for adding some fake sense of legitimacy to their cause…?!

if the only people who anyone can expect to donate are friends or friends of friends etc… then there is NO NEED to pay this guy such a ridiculously high percentage for a completely unecessary fake service. if he had any morals, he couldve simply set up a webpage explaining tips on fundraising and left out his phony junk ’service’

scam

This is a great story Chris. It’s cool to see you using your online network to do good for others – especially for children.

[...] Your Donations Really Made a Difference: A few days ago Chris Brogan raised $1,200 in donations by putting out a challenge to his Twitter followers to make a difference. Chris is adding $700 of his own money to buy “really big” toys for underprivileged kids. Chris humbly says “You did this…You made it possible for me to pick up several carts full of toys” as he gives credit to his friends on the social web. Way to go Chris for showing leadership and caring! [...]

HEY GOOD NEWS! Apparently a few emails is all it takes. Money is in from fundable and all is well. Santa Claus will be coming to town.

Hey Chris (and everyone else),

I left a comment earlier today about the fundraiser I did here in Blacksburg, VA, to sponsor a family. We raised over $2,300, $1,800 of which was through fundable.com. They have a 48 hour turnaround time on funds collected, so I ended my drive on Wed night to get the money. For two days, I’ve been trying to reach them through email or phone and I’ve gotten no response aside from a form letter explaining what I already knew. I do not want to let this family down. John Pratt, co-founder of fundable.com has put his email address on their site, I’ve emailed him myself and I’d like to ask you and everyone else to do the same and ask him to explain where the $ is for Gre-Dad’s Gift and why it hasn’t hit my paypal account yet. I’d really appreciate your help. the address is john pratt at fundable dot com. Thanks!

Congratulations Chris for making a big difference for this project. I’m sure the kids who got your toys are very happy. I hope more bloggers will do the same in their respective town and help out in anyway they can.
