Can’t the nonprofits sue gofundme?

  Sure but that is expensive and will likely just get a page taken down. Most nonprofits are barely surviving and not able to spend on lawyers just to make a point. But press coverage and public outrage is free, and many nonprofits are good at one or both. I looked up charities I support and it looks like GoFundMe is pulling in the logos of some orgs. Assuming those are trademarked, that would be a pretty simple takedown letter to send.

  Yeah, given the number affected a class action might be the way to go. It will take time but lawyers will eat the costs in exchange for a significant cut of the final payout.
