GiveSendGo is a Christian-owned crowdfunding website thrust into the center of attention recently after the Canadian Freedom Convoy used it to raise <a href=\"https:\/\/givesendgo.com\/FreedomConvoy2022\">nearly $10 million dollars.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Freedom Convoy moved its fundraising activities to GiveSendGo after GoFundMe, a leftist-owned platform, froze a fundraiser that previously raised over $10 million.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>GiveSendGo has since been the target of leftist cyberattacks, which has seen the names of donors leak onto the internet. Despite a policy against sharing hacked materials, Twitter has done nothing to stop the hacked data, which has been used by establishment journalists to dox and harass donors, to spread.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the show here:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cGiveSendGo has stepped into a place where several other technology companies are beginning to step into, which is a place which says our role as a business isn\u2019t to be judge and jury, especially in a country that\u2019s founded on principles like freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of expression,\u201d Wells told Marlow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn taking that position of freedom, you\u2019ve put a big target on your back,\u201d said Wells of the illegal cyberattacks against his website.\u00a0\u201cWith Justin Trudeau and what the Canadian government did with the emergency powers act and all of that is, they made it illegal for people to support the campaign, and then immediately after, somebody hacks into our site and is able to access the names of people who have given and have disclosed it for the Canadian government to go after those very same people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the attacks against the platform, Wells said GiveSendGo is enjoying record growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely incredible. This is the problem that the left never understands, that they attack this way and it only makes us stronger, it only makes us better, it only gets our name out there further. We saw a 1,000 percent increase in our growth just over this past several weeks because of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMassive growth, and massive growth since we stepped into this game two years ago when we allowed Kyle Rittenhouse to use our platform to fundraise when no one else would. We\u2019re in 40 countries around the world, people are using us everywhere. This is just the beginning, I believe.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hiring as fast as we can. We\u2019re bringing on some incredible security experts right now, to look through, scan through our platform. Things that we\u2019ve had ongoing but we\u2019re upping the level \u2014 obviously, the bigger the target that you are, the more name recognition that you have, the more potential that you\u2019re going to be under attack. So we need to continue to increase that significantly. We are heavily, heavily investing in this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission statement is to share the hope of Jesus through crowdfunding. I believe it\u2019s interesting, from our faith perspective, that we see God using our platform to be the vehicle for bringing freedom back to the tech space in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe are not ideologically driven from the left or the right. We\u2019ve allowed campaigns that we very much disagree with on both sides. Obviously, everyone has their own personal leanings. But our platform, I would say \u2013 it\u2019s not neutral, it\u2019s focused, and that focus is on the hope that we have that no matter what happens in this life, there are things beyond the material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know this. No amount of money that you raise for a tragic car accident, for somebody that\u2019s just lost their child, no amount of money is going to heal that hurt and pain. But there is a hope that can, and that comes through God and the hope that Jesus brings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Canadian government does not have jurisdiction over GiveSendGo. We are a U.S. company. The funds from these campaigns are flowing to U.S. bank accounts. So they are outside of the purview of the Canadian government. Now obviously the Canadian government, there are international agreements, there are laws that they can put in place. They have decided to crack down in-house, within the country of Canada, to restrict as much as they can, any funds flowing to people that are connected to these campaigns. Now, GiveSendGo\u2019s position is the money is fluid, it\u2019s here in accounts in the U.S., we\u2019re going to do everything that we can \u2013 and we\u2019re in coordination with those people on the ground \u2013 to ensure that those funds legally are delivered to those campaign owners. And we know that this is an ongoing fight, that there is a legal battle that they\u2019re waging in Canada, so we\u2019re looking for the best, most secure ways to legally get funds to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s typical of Big Tech platforms, which is complete hypocrisy. They\u2019ll hold back the Hunter Biden because of the potential hacked material, but they won\u2019t on anything that doesn\u2019t fit their narrative or what they want to see accomplished. And this goes the same with GoFundMe, GoFundMe allowing funds raised for occupations in Seattle and across the country through 2020 and seeing funds flow easily to those places, but when the shoe\u2019s on the other foot they don\u2019t want to do anything. We\u2019re seeing this hypocrisy over and over again, it\u2019s exposing who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a moment for people to stand up, who have been affected, and not be afraid, and say \u2018you know what, I didn\u2019t do anything wrong, I gave to freedom, and we live in a free society.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShare about us to people, tell your friends never to use that other site again for fundraising. I really believe that GiveSendGo is the tip of the spear in this technology revolution going against Big Tech, because I think GoFundMe is the weakest of the Big Tech oligarchs. It has the least stickiness. People aren\u2019t on it all the time, so people aren\u2019t as connected to it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople can donate to us, we have a donation spot, we operate on the generosity of our users, they can do that on our homepage.
