For weeks now, the Project Watermelon team has been working to help families in Gaza get their GoFundMe pages setup and vetted for Palestinians, desperately needing vital and lifesaving resources to keep their family healthy and safe. Since GoFundMe can be difficult to navigate, our team is hosting a live webinar this week: Supporting Gazans: Setting Up Your GFM Properly. Together, we’ll walk you through the steps to set up a successful GoFundMe campaign, ensuring it gets accepted and reaches those who need it most, and troubleshoot common issues.

Please share this video with anyone you know that might be connected to someone in Gaza who would benefit from this webinar.

To join us, head to the link below and in our bio to sign up. After signing up, you’ll receive a zoom link to your email. Be sure to create a calendar event so you’ll be reminded when it’s time to join the webinar.

Project Watermelon is here to help you navigate the way forward.
