Oklahoma AG Drummond Leads 21-State Coalition Demanding GoFundMe Remove Unauthorized Charity Pages

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced that he and a coalition of 21 state attorneys general and charitable regulators sent a letter to GoFundMe demanding immediate corrective action; the announcement is dated March 3, 2026 but the available text cuts off after the partial word "bui" and does not include the specific reports or the full list of signatories. The truncated announcement names the platform and the demand for "immediate corrective action" but provides no further detail on the conduct alleged or the corrective steps sought.

The March 3 statement fits a pattern of multistate oversight led or joined by Drummond in consumer and charitable matters. On Aug. 6, 2025, Drummond led a coalition of 14 attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Oklahoma in a letter to Fire Aid President Gillian Zucker seeking documentation about $100 million raised for Los Angeles County wildfire victims. That Aug. 6 letter asked Fire Aid to provide, within 10 business days, "the number of donors and total amount of their donations for each state represented in the letter, a full explanation of its relationship with the Annenberg Foundation, copies of template grants or other agreements the organization executed or will execute with recipient organizations, descriptions of measures the organization has implemented or will implement to ensure funds directly benefit fire victims and several other items." Drummond said of the Fire Aid inquiry: "In Oklahoma and across the nation we witnessed the devastation inflicted on Los Angeles County by these massive wildfires. Oklahomans are always quick to offer help. It’s no surprise that many donated to Fire Aid to provide direct relief to victims, but now we are seeing questions about whether these donations are being used as intended. As Attorney General, I will always work to protect Oklahomans and ensure that their donations are appropriately expended."

Drummond also has taken multistate action on consumer protection. On Dec. 18, 2025 he joined a coalition of 21 other state attorneys general and jurisdictions that filed suit against Uber Technologies LLC and Uber USA LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The Journal Record lists coalition participants including Maryland, Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the Alameda County District Attorney in California, in addition to Oklahoma. The complaint alleges Uber "engaged in negative option marketing by automatically charging consumers after free trials, misrepresented potential savings, made cancellations difficult and billed some users before their free trials ended." The suit seeks "restitution, penalties, costs and an injunction for alleged violations of Oklahoma’s Consumer Protection Act and the federal Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act," and has a trial scheduled for February 2027. Drummond said in that matter: "Oklahoma law prohibits deceptive trade practices, and I will always fight to hold accountable any company who breaks the law. Unless Uber is stopped in court, they are likely to continue cheating and harming hardworking Oklahomans."

Biographical records provided with these announcements note that Gentner Frederick Drummond was sworn in as Oklahoma’s attorney general on Jan. 9, 2023 and was born Oct. 1, 1963; sources conflict on whether he is the 19th or 20th attorney general. His public biography lists nearly 30 years of law experience, the 1999 founding of Tulsa-based Drummond Law, service as an assistant district attorney in Pawnee and Osage Counties, military service as a U.S. Air Force jet pilot in the Persian Gulf War with a Distinguished Flying Cross and multiple Air Medals, and the creation of the office’s Organized Crime Task Force to address illegal marijuana operations, human trafficking and opioid distribution.

The March 3 GoFundMe letter continues a string of multistate inquiries and lawsuits led or joined by Drummond on donor and consumer protection. Because the announced text available to reporters stops midword, the specific allegations against GoFundMe, the corrective measures the coalition requested and the full roster of participating state attorneys general and charitable regulators are not contained in the released excerpt and have not been detailed in the announcement as provided.
