Team fundraising

Two (or three, or four) heads are better than one! Team Fundraising isn’t just for sports teams or clubs; any GoFundMe organizer can feel empowered to call on their friends and family to help raise funds for their cause. Whether it’s a drive for your local food pantry or for a loved one in crisis, team fundraising can help provide the support you need. 

For example, if you would like to start a memorial fundraiser for a loved one who has passed, but you want some help, including team members would allow you to divide responsibilities like posting updates and sending thank you’s. Perhaps more importantly, they can also help to support you emotionally as you navigate the best way to honor someone you care about.

Alternatively, if you are on a club or sports team that would like to raise funds together, a team fundraiser would be a great way to allow each member to track how many donations they've raised. Each person on your team can even personally thank any donors who contributed on their behalf.

On your team fundraiser, the GoFundMe organizer will be able to:

  • Add or remove a team member
  • Send a message to your team
  • Display how much each team member has raised on your fundraiser
  • Remind your teammates to share your fundraiser
  • Set a team photo
  • Come up with a team name 

Team members will be able to:

  • Post updates to the fundraiser in their own name
  • Thank donors in their own name
  • Send messages to the team
  • View how much they've raised for the fundraiser

Note: Team members will not be able to access withdrawal information or edit the fundraiser.

How to add team members 

From your fundraiser dashboard, select 'Team' below your fundraiser title. You can either copy the link to send directly via text or email, or you can send the invite as an email through GoFundMe.

Please note: Charity representative accounts will not be able to create team fundraisers at this time.
