Helping people and fundraising
Selection, care, and public money paths.
Direct answers here; full methodology stays with the canonical guides and stories.
Potential stories are reviewed for clarity, fit, safety, timing, practical need, permission, and the ability to follow through responsibly. A nomination does not guarantee contact, support, fundraising, filming, or publication. See how nominations are reviewed.
A visitor submits the official nomination form with useful context and a safe follow-up path. Josh’s team may review the story, confirm permission and care needs, and follow up when appropriate. Read the Submission Guide before sharing details.
Permission, privacy, safety, and the wishes of the person involved are considered before identifiable stories become public. People should not be reduced to a difficult moment or asked to expose unnecessary sensitive information. Read the complete Trust & Care standards.
The people, needs, and underlying circumstances in recipient stories are real. Stories may be nominated, researched, scheduled, or coordinated, and a planned visit is not the same as a fabricated circumstance. Participants may repeat important factual explanations for clarity, but are not asked to invent facts or recreate emotional reactions, first meetings, surprise moments, or gift handoffs. Josh does not knowingly present undisclosed paid actors, employees, friends, or collaborators as recipients or random strangers. Read how the videos work.
Josh receives separately paid compensation from GoFundMe for qualifying fundraising activity. That compensation is based on eligible donation volume and is not deducted from the amount payable to the recipient. Standard processing fees still apply. Recipient campaigns, general mission support and creator income are different categories; the campaign and story records explain the arrangement for a particular fundraiser. Read GoFundMe compensation and where fundraiser money goes.
There is no single flow for every project. Recipient-specific campaigns use the public fundraiser linked from the relevant story; general mission support uses the official Support route; dated figures and outcomes remain on canonical story pages and in the Impact Report. Selected cases are also organized in the fundraiser outcomes ledger.
Use Nominate to share a story through the official form. Use Support for general mission support, or follow the public fundraiser on a canonical Impact story when supporting a specific person, family, or cause.
