Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria. A January 2026 review found that GoFundMe's own policy bars fundraising involving sanctioned countries, leaving Syria blocked. The team contacted the company in February 2026, and its legal team acknowledged receipt and said the message was under review. No further response has followed, and the block remains in place.
Contacted Company
Outreach email sent to GoFundMe at legal@gofundme.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions for GoFundMe under the current post-sanctions legal framework.

Work at GoFundMe? Know someone who does?
Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside GoFundMe can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
