Fundraisers, support, and follow-up
What happened after Josh Liljenquist's fundraisers?
Fundraising totals do not tell the whole story. This page brings together publicly documented fundraiser amounts, direct support, donated services, later updates, and completed outcomes connected to Josh Liljenquist's work as Joshlilj. It separates what was raised, what was presented or received, what support was provided, and what later outcome is actually documented. Where a later result is not publicly established, the page says so rather than implying completion.
About this page
Published by Josh Liljenquist's website. Campaign totals, recipient support, follow-up updates, and outcomes are shown only where the available public record supports them. A campaign total is not the same as cash received, money spent, donated-service value, or a completed outcome.

What does "raised" mean here?
A fundraiser total shows how much a campaign publicly recorded at a point in time. It does not automatically establish how much a recipient ultimately received, how much was spent, or whether a longer-term goal was completed. Processing fees, refunds, chargebacks, timing, beneficiary arrangements, donated goods or services, and later changes can affect what a public total means.
Does Josh earn money connected to fundraising?
Josh receives separately paid compensation from GoFundMe for qualifying fundraising activity under his arrangement with the platform. That compensation is paid separately by GoFundMe and is not deducted from the amount payable to the fundraiser's recipient. Standard payment-processing fees can still apply to donations.
