GoFundMe is an American for-profit crowdfunding platform that allows people to raise money for events ranging from life events such as celebrations and graduations to challenging circumstances like accidents and illnesses.
By using this website, the private organization would be conducting off-base fundraising activities. As a private org, MCCS and MCIPAC do not regulate off-base fundraising except to ensure the organization does not inappropriately affiliate itself or its activities with the Marine Corps. Additionally, the appropriate disclaimers should be conspicuously visible on the POs fundraising webpage. Government personnel, of course, cannot use official resources or time to maintain this webpage or conduct fundraising activities. If you do set up a GoFundMe page, you must send the link to the webpage to the PO Monitor once it is completed so that we can ensure it has the proper disclaimers and does not appear to be associated with the Marine Corps, DON, or DOD.
