WanderRaise
Crowdfunding for deplatformed communities — GoFundMe froze LGBTQ+ campaigns, PayPal terminated 46% of adult creator accounts, GiveSendGo explicitly anti-trans, 39% more trans relocation fundraisers post-Dobbs.
Finance & LegalAbout
GoFundMe has frozen campaigns for trans medical care, harm reduction, and abortion access — citing 'terms of service violations' with no appeal mechanism. PayPal terminated an estimated 46% of adult content creator accounts in 2022 without notice, seizure-holding funds for up to 180 days. GiveSendGo, the dominant religious-conservative alternative, explicitly refuses trans-related fundraisers. Kickstarter deplatformed sex worker and harm reduction campaigns. After the Dobbs decision, trans relocation fundraisers increased 39% in May 2023 alone — documented by Trans Lifeline mutual aid data. LGBTQ+ youth experiencing family rejection need fundraising without their legal name. Abortion funding campaigns in hostile states face criminal exposure if fundraiser identity is public. There is no crowdfunding platform designed for the communities that need it most. WanderRaise is 0% platform fee with anonymous campaign option, disclosed 1% to WWP as operating support, and structural deplatforming protection: no LGBTQ+, trans, abortion, harm reduction, or sex worker campaign will ever be removed.
