Here's how to get a refund if you donated to the Freedom Convoy now that GoFundMe has nuked the fundraiser; UPDATE: GoFundMe now returning all donations

UPDATE

GoFundMe is now returning all donations:

To simplify the process for our users, we will be refunding all donations to the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser. This refund will happen automatically—you do not need to submit a request. Donors can expect to see refunds within 7-10 business days.

The update we issued earlier enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations.
