Announcement! /r/CBD will be doing a GoFundMe project to get every CBD product on the market tested. We need your help!

Here's what we have so far. $1303 for ordering the samples. SC labs will test them at 70$ a sample (10$ off their normal price). Total for that comes to $1820. We also need to factor in a landing page for this project, which will be about $200 unless we can find someone willing to do it for free. GoFundMe's cut of the funds is 5% and their payment system takes 3% as well as 30cents of every donation.
Has anyone had success with funding a GoFundMe project? Also we are looking for ways to market this project, on Facebook and Reddit, so we need to factor in a cost for this as well. Anyone with any experience doing this please comment or send me a PM.
I feel this is a necessary step in bringing transparency to the industry. If there's any other CBD companies you would like to add feel free to do so in this spreadsheet:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WODK8OB7f7FDjNYM-Ur4Lxns03GQErqTqqZBgI0WE0M/edit#gid=0
~~If you would like to donate I should have the GoFundMe project set up by tomorrow.~~
We may set up a paypal account instead. More word on this after I discuss with the other moderators.

Interesting so what you're saying is not to go forward with a gofundme and just have a paypal account set up?

Yeah, it would avoid the fees taken. You are only trying to raise a small amount. It would be pretty easy to have people just manually Paypal you the money as friends and family.
