Removing government name from Go Fund Me
July 25, 2022 10:10 PM   Subscribe

I just set up a Go Fund Me for a personal project and now my government name is on the main page. Help?

I use an alias online because I am estranged from some members of my family. I recently set up a GFM for a creative project and found a way to use the alias on the front page. GFM has been emailing me to set up withdrawals, and I did so under my government name, since my bank account is under my government name. There’s now a line on my GFM page that says “[ALIAS] is organizing this fundraiser on behalf of [GOVERNMENT NAME]”.

Is there any way I can remove my government name from the webpage, or do I need to withdraw the money, close the fundraiser, and start again?

I’m not using this alias for fun. I’ve had repeated problems with an estranged family member contacting me to harass me, and I know that if she found this, she would start bothering me again.

This exact issue is addressed on their support page and in this article, it appears that the transfer name is different from the GoFundMe name. Can you change the name to at least get it off the frontpage then change the name on bank transfers?
