What happens to GoFundMe money if the goal isn't reached?

If a GoFundMe campaign doesn't reach its goal, the organizer still keeps all the money raised, minus platform fees, because GoFundMe uses a "Keep What You Raise" (flexible funding) model by default, allowing campaigns to continue accepting donations and adjust goals as needed. Unlike "All or Nothing" platforms, donors aren't refunded unless the organizer chooses to issue them, and you can keep fundraising past your initial target, making it easier to get partial funds for your needs.
