Raising funds for a nonprofit

Nonprofit fundraisers connected to PayPal Giving Fund can only be run in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Australia. Fundraisers for nonprofits in other countries will need to set up a personal fundraiser instead.

There are two ways to raise funds for a nonprofit on GoFundMe. You can either start a personal fundraiser, which means funds are sent to a personal or business/organization bank account, or a nonprofit fundraiser, which means funds are sent directly to the nonprofit through PayPal Giving Fund, or directly to the nonprofit if they have enabled GoFundMe Pay.


To start a nonprofit fundraiser, make sure the organization you’d like to benefit is part of our database. Fees are slightly different for nonprofit fundraisers, so please review our pricing policy before making your decision.
