Millions of people have used GoFundMe to raise money. Have questions about the process? We’re here to help.
Here’s how fundraising on GoFundMe works:
To get started, just tap the green ‘Start a GoFundMe’ button.
You’ll then write down your story or, if you’re on the app, you can record a video.
Next, you’ll customize your fundraiser, adding details to let potential donors understand your cause. People like to know how their donations will make a difference, whether you’re fundraising for yourself or someone else.
You can always add additional photos and videos or lower or raise your goal anytime.
The best way to raise funds is by sharing. Call family, text friends, message coworkers, or post your fundraiser link on social media.
We also have a Teams feature where friends can help you spread the word.
Even if you haven't met your fundraising goal, you can set up daily transfers to your bank account to receive money.
If you need us, we'll be there every step of the way with fundraising tips and customer support: gfme.co/fundra...
