[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To echo what others have said, when I opt to NOT be anonymous, it’s because [b]I want the recipient to know I’m supporting them. [/b]

If the roles were reversed and I was fundraising for something, I think I’d like to know that my friends were donating. It would make me feel supported. [/quote]

They can see your name as one of the contributors even if you are "anonymous" to the general public.

"When donating on GoFundMe, you can make it so your name won’t be visible to the public on the fundraiser page. For security reasons, you can’t make an entirely anonymous donation, and the organizer, team members, beneficiary, and others will be able to see your name and, sometimes, email address. "

Wow I didn’t know this. I hate leaving my name on there but thought it was the only way the recipient would know, and I would like to show my support to them. [/quote]

I didn’t know this either. But sometimes there is some social pressure. We had something happen in the neighborhood with lots of people donating to the family. All my neighbors included their names so I felt a little like I had to or they would think I had not. I know that’s silly but oh well. [/quote]
