GoFundMe

Overview

GoFundMe is a for-profit crowdfunding platform founded in 2010 by Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester. It enables peer-to-peer fundraising for personal, charitable, and crisis-related causes. Initially designed as a simple platform for social saving, it quickly evolved to meet the growing demand for funding personal crises, particularly medical expenses. By 2020, it facilitated around 200,000 medical campaigns annually, reflecting its significant role in addressing societal needs.

The platform offers a core crowdfunding service that allows users to raise funds for various needs, including medical bills and personal milestones. In 2022, GoFundMe expanded its offerings with the acquisition of Classy, rebranding it as GoFundMe Pro. This service provides advanced nonprofit fundraising tools, enhancing its capabilities to inspire donations and maximize impact. GoFundMe hosts tens of thousands of active campaigns each month, making it a major player in the crowdfunding space.
