GoFundMe is an online platform that enables individuals and organizations to raise money for various needs and aspirations. Users can create fundraising campaigns in just five minutes by sharing their stories and soliciting donations from their networks and the wider community. The platform has a large user base, with over 100 million people contributing to more than 200 million donations, totaling around $25 billion raised. GoFundMe generates revenue through voluntary tips from donors and a small transaction fee on each donation, which helps cover payment processing costs. The company focuses on providing a safe and user-friendly experience for both donors and recipients, distinguishing itself from competitors by its extensive community support and trustworthiness. The goal of GoFundMe is to leverage community support to help people meet their financial needs.
