Shlomo Spitz, a frequent user of GoFundMe told SimchaSpot that in reality, his chesed campaigns were easily paying up to 10% commission to GoFundMe and other crowdfunding sites.
“The ones who desperately needed funds were getting taxed from these crowd funding sites and I have felt they were literally taking bread from mouths of widows, orphans and others in need”
A group of developers who would like to remain anonymous put in thousands of hours for the sake of chesed and to offer the Jewish world an alternative to the heavy taxing of donations executed by global crowd funding sites.

“We have all been working on this part time and would like to involve other developers so we can continue the evolution of free crowd funding” one of the main developers told SimchaSpot.
“There is so much left to do to raise the level of our interface and funds are also needed to further assist troubleshooting and overall operations” he stated.
Instead of taking commissions from each donation, TheChesedFund.com gives the option for users to also donate to their site for the sole purpose of help running day to day operations.
“If users do not want to donate to
