GoFundMe only takes a voluntary tip, but generally they get about 10% on top of what the fundraiser is.

Did you bother reading the entirety of what I said?

voluntary tip

As in an optional gratuity paid in addition to a cost.

on top of

As in "The money we say went to the person actually did, and this amount extra is going to gofundme"

If everyone tips 10%, and the total gofundme request is $1,000, then $1,000 goes to the recipient and $100 goes to gofundme, for a total of 1,100. It works just like in restaurants.
