Donations to Eric Dane Family Fund Top $300,000 After GoFundMe Clears Review

GoFundMe named Rebecca Gayheart the beneficiary to receive funds for the couple’s two daughters.

Overview

  • GoFundMe confirmed the friends-run campaign completed its standard Trust & Safety review and verified the fundraiser, adding Rebecca Gayheart as the beneficiary.
  • The drive, launched shortly after Dane’s death, has raised more than $300,000 toward a $500,000 goal, with notable gifts from Sam Levinson ($27,000), Hailey Bieber ($20,000) and Brad Falchuk ($10,000).
  • Organizers say the money will help provide stability for Billie and Georgia, covering schooling, housing and future needs after their father’s passing.
  • Gayheart publicly thanked supporters and shared a small candlelit memorial image, saying the community’s response is holding the family up during a difficult time.
  • Dane, 53, died on Feb. 19 after an ALS diagnosis he disclosed last year, and a posthumous Netflix interview featuring his final messages was released.
