GiveSendGo is an crowdsourcing fundraising website, made in response to GoFundMe removing controversial campaigns. Although it has a Christian mission statement, it was used to fund far-right groups[1] and extremists[2].

After GoFundMe pulled the plug on the initial campaign, the convoyists switched to GiveSendGo to fundraise for the main Freedom Convoy campaign, and for an Adopt-a-trucker fundraiser. Because it was a funding source, it was a target of a court order to freeze access to millions of dollars donated to the platform. [3]

The website's Twitter account incorrectly stated that Canada has no jurisdiction, ignoring that it is a campaign that targets an organization in Canada, that the payment processor would need to operate in Canada in order to provide funds, and that a bank that would receive the funds would also have to comply with the freeze. [4]

The website was subject to a data breach, leaking the names of various donors.[5] The list was used to identify various people in government, causing an investigation into their activities related to the convoy.
