More than $1.6 million raised for Orlando shooting victims on GoFundMe

That made it the largest and fastest-growing campaign in the crowd-funding website’s six-year history, said GoFundMe spokesman Bobby Whithorne.

In an update to the campaign page, Equality Florida said the outpouring of love and compassion is a “testament to the incredible good” in the world.

The city of Orlando launched the OneOrlando Fund on Tuesday.

Equality Florida is partnering with the National Center for Victims of Crimes, a nonprofit that helped distribute the proceeds from similar fundraisers after mass shootings in Fort Hood and Chattanooga, to distribute the funds.

Victims and families seeking financial assistance should contact the VictimConnect Resource Center to begin the process, Eskemani said. “They don’t go through and do the vetting of who established that account to make sure even after the fact if the money actually went to the families that (they) were claiming to raise money for”.

Mourners enter a joint funeral service for Peter Ommy Gonzalez-Cruz and Gilberto Ramon Silva Menendez, both victims of the Pulse nightclub mass shooting, Friday, June 17, 2016, in Orlando, Fla. A group spokesperson says the money will go to the families of the victims. He said the company had vetted and was in communication with more than 150 campaigns raising money related to the Orlando shooting.

The group initially set a fundraising goal of $100,000 but continued to raise it after donations kept flooding in.

Most of the donations were for $1,000 or less.

Though most of the gifts were far less than $1000, Cricket Wireless gave $25,000, and Executive Pride, an organization that promotes LGBT rights in the business community, posted a $30,000 contribution.

Darden is donating half a million dollars.

Specifically, Equality Florida will be directing the proceeds from the GoFundMe campaign to “support every single victim of the horrific shooting at Orlando’s Pulse Nightclub”.

“We just want to be able to cover whatever we can”, Equality Florida’s Deputy Director of Development Michael Farmer told NBC News.
