Which platforms have hosted fundraisers for Jonathan Ross and how much money have they raised across sites?

1. Which platforms hosted fundraisers: GoFundMe and GiveSendGo dominated the coverage

News organizations consistently identify GoFundMe as hosting the largest and most visible Ross campaigns and GiveSendGo as the other major platform where multiple efforts appeared; reports name specific GoFundMe pages started by Clyde Emmons and Frontline Patriots and multiple GiveSendGo campaigns organized by others such as Tom Hennessy ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}. Wired and other outlets flagged a GoFundMe page explicitly seeking funds for “legal defense,” raising questions about the platform’s own terms and review process ^[9].

2. Amounts on GoFundMe: large but fluid, and often “unverified” or under review

Estimated amounts on GoFundMe differ by outlet and time: Newsweek reported more than $370,000 while other outlets catalogued growth into the hundreds of thousands and beyond — Forbes cited more than $630,000 after a viral boost, USA TODAY recorded a figure above $660,000 at one point, TMZ and others reported totals in the $400,000–$475,000 range, and Wired noted a campaign seeking at least $550,000 for legal costs ^{[1] [4] [10] [11] [9]}. GoFundMe itself said its Trust & Safety team was reviewing fundraisers connected to the shooting and that only the Good family’s fundraiser had been verified on its platform; that leaves the Ross-linked pages in a contested status where reported balances could be returned to donors if removed ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

3. Amounts on GiveSendGo: multiple campaigns, mid-six-figure totals

Reports place GiveSendGo’s aggregate contributions to Ross-linked campaigns in the mid-to-high six figures across its various pages, with specific figures reported as roughly $160,000 to $247,000 on different days and by different outlets; Bring Me The News cited roughly $247,000 on GiveSendGo while the Spokesman-Review and other sites noted campaigns with more than $160,000 or $177,000 raised on that platform ^{[3] [2] [7]}. GiveSendGo’s operators publicly framed the site as an alternative when mainstream platforms remove or limit legal-defense fundraisers, and GiveSendGo representatives told reporters that some funds had already been disbursed ^{[8] [3]}.

4. Combined tallies, timing effects, and reporting caveats

Some outlets attempted a combined total: Bring Me The News summed a GoFundMe figure north of $608,000 with GiveSendGo’s $247,000 for “over $855k” across platforms at a specific morning snapshot, while other outlets’ snapshots produced combined sums in the neighborhood of $600k–$700k depending on which figure for GoFundMe was used ^{[3] [8] [2]}. The variance stems from rapid donation spikes (including a high-profile $10,000 donation reported from Bill Ackman to a GoFundMe page), the existence of multiple separate campaigns on each platform, and platform review/verification steps that can freeze, remove, or return funds — facts emphasized by GoFundMe and by reporting from Newsweek, Forbes, and Wired ^{[1] [4] [9]}.

5. What reporting does not settle and why precision is elusive

Available sources do not provide a single authoritative ledger tying all campaigns to an official Ross account or confirming final disbursements; many GoFundMe pages remain “unverified” and under review, GiveSendGo hosts multiple distinct campaigns whose payouts may have been partially released, and news outlets captured different timestamps and snapshots of rapidly changing totals ^{[1] [3] [8]}. Consequently the most accurate answer the reporting supports is a range-based one: GoFundMe pages collectively drew several hundred thousand dollars (reports cluster from roughly $400k up to $660k+ at different moments) while GiveSendGo campaigns added mid-six-figure sums (roughly $160k–$247k), producing combined press-reported totals commonly cited between about $600,000 and $855,000 depending on the snapshot — with final disposition and verification unresolved in the reporting ^{[11] [10] [3] [2]}.
