Our Mission

To raise and mobilize charitable donations to help individuals and communities impacted by crises, natural disasters, and social inequalities.

We manage funds on behalf of strategic partners, and distribute grants to individuals facing hardship, and to nonprofits addressing critical needs.

What We Do

GoFundMe.org manages a portfolio of charitable funds on behalf of partners—including GoFundMe, Inc. The funds we host address urgent and philanthropic needs of people and communities. 

We accept tax-deductible donations into our funds, then issue grants directly to individuals in need and/or nonprofit organizations whose mission aligns with the fund’s purpose. 

Our super power is granting money out swiftly and securely – from our own funds, and on behalf of our partners – to individuals and nonprofits that have been carefully reviewed and verified as being eligible for charitable awards.

Who We Help

GoFundMe.org grants to: 

  • verified individuals in a charitable class who are fundraising on the GoFundMe platform
  • individuals in a charitable class who have been vetted by a partner
  • vetted nonprofits responding to a crisis
  • vetted nonprofits recommended by our partners as grantees of their funds

Our Approach

Donations have a direct impact.

Thanks to generous support and services from GoFundMe, Inc., donations to GoFundMe.org go directly to help people or nonprofits, not to cover our operating costs. 

Money is distributed quickly.

We work to move fast and distribute the money raised in the immediate aftermath of a crisis to the people most affected, sometimes within hours. 

We trust grant recipients.

Within the context and purpose of each fund, grants are almost always unrestricted; we empower grant recipients to use the money as they see fit, given their unique set of circumstances.

Work to improve outcomes for all.

We strive to ensure that our grantmaking policies and practices minimize bias, advance equity and justice, and promote inclusion. 

Our Impact

In fiscal year 2025, over $17 million was raised into funds we hosted, and we delivered more than 11,000+ grants to directly support people and communities.
