I think Misty's point might be that Gofundme rules state that live accounts must be linked to a facebook page.
Is that right?
They don't have to be linked to a Facebook account.
GFM Questions
AUTHENTIC IDENTITIES
Users are required to display their authentic identities when using GoFundMe. This helps ensure that donors understand who is collecting the money. GoFundMe helps communicate account authenticity while protecting users’ personal contact information by leveraging Facebook. Each GoFundMe user may connect a single Facebook account to their online donation page. In doing so, the user’s name, photo and number of friends is displayed. However, the link to a user’s Facebook profile remains private.
GoFundMe accounts that fail to meet the above requirement, or attempt to use Facebook accounts that don’t appear authentic (no photo or low friend count) will not be approved for inclusion within the GoFundMe Search Directory.
Additionally, GoFundMe donation pages that have not met the Facebook requirement will display a notification message to donors stating that the account has not been Facebook Verified.

Do I have to use my Facebook account?
Although optional, connecting your account to Facebook is highly recommended and makes sharing your campaign with others incredibly easy. A valid Facebook account is required for all campaigns that wish to appear within GoFundMe's Public Search Directory. Don't worry, we'll never post anything to your Facebook account unless you say so.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I export the information of my donors?
Yes. All donation activity can easily be exported to a spreadsheet. Simply click the 'More' tab within your Dashboard, then visit the 'Donations' section of your GoFundMe account and click the 'Export' button.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will I have my donors' mailing addresses?
If you'd like, you can choose to capture the mailing addresses of your donors. This is useful in the event you're shipping an actual item like a thank-you card or t-shirt.
