If all 63 million Americans who voted for President Trump donated, everyone would only have to pay 80 dollars to reach the goal.
Until Friday, the campaign was worth a little over $ 20 million, but that was not all that Kolfage was hoping for.
The campaign, GoFundMe said, was designed to be all or nothing.
"When the campaign was created, the campaign organizer expressly stated on the campaign page:" If we do not reach our goal or if we get closer significantly, we will refund every penny said GoFundMe to CNN. "He also said on the campaign page:" 100% of your donations will go to Trump Wall .If for some reason we do not achieve our goal, we will refund your don. "
" This did not happen, which means that all donors will receive a refund, "GoFundMe told CNN.
However, the campaign page was still open early Saturday and accepted donations, and it is unclear when it will be withdrawn GoFundMe stated that it was up to the campaign organizer to determine when it was closed.
Kolfage stated that he had determined that the federal government was not in a position to accept the money, so he intends to form a team to build a wall in private.
In place of the GoFundMe campaign, Kolfage created a 501 (c) (4) nonprofit corporation, the Florida Corporation, named "We Build the Wall, Inc." and asks donors to redirect their contributions to the organization.
But he will honor the reimbursement, he said on the campaign page, if donors choose not to switch to the new platform
"When I created this fundraiser, I said that if we did not achieve our goal, we would repay the donors. I respect this commitment today. We will promptly refund your donation, unless you tell us that you approve our new plan of action, "said Kolfage.
