Hurricane Helene has sent many into a state of emergency. Donate here to help those directly impacted.

The Mountain Fire in Ventura County is having a devastating impact on residents. We are asking for donations to quickly deliver cash relief grants into the hands of those impacted.

Our Mission

To quickly and directly support individuals and communities impacted by disaster or pervasive social inequalities.

Our work is informed by insights from the GoFundMe platform and the philanthropic priorities of a wide range of community partners.

How We Work

GoFundMe.org powers a broad range of domestic philanthropic pursuits on behalf of partners that are aligned with our values around justice, equality, and opportunity. We accept tax-deductible donations from a global network of donors into funds created for a specific purpose. From these funds, we issue grants to verified individuals and nonprofits. Guided in part by needs reflected on the GoFundMe platform, we strive to help mitigate the negative impacts of systemic social injustice, natural disasters, and other domestic crises.
