Connect with others on your GoFundMe Profile

GoFundMe Profiles allow you to connect with people who care about the same causes that you do. Follow friends, organizers, nonprofits, and supporters and get notifications when they share updates. Here’s a quick rundown of:

• How to find and follow other supporters
• Notifications you’ll receive
• How to hide activity from your profile feed

How to find and follow other supporters

First, consider making your profile public:

1. Sign into your GoFundMe account
2. Select “Profile” from the top right menu
3. If your profile is private, you’ll see the following message: 

4. Click “Change visibility”
5. Select the “Public” option, and then click “Save”

You’ll see suggestions on who to follow based on your top causes, fundraisers you’ve supported, and fundraisers you’ve added to your profile. To follow new supporters, simply click “Follow” next to their name and profile picture. 

Notifications you’ll receive

Once you follow another supporter, your notification feed will update you about their activity, including:

• Starting a fundraiser
• Adding or pinning a fundraiser or Nonprofit Page to their profile
• Donating to a fundraiser or charity

You’ll also receive a notification when new people follow you.

When new items show up on your feed, there will be a red circle with the number of notifications in your top right menu. 

Be sure to log into your GoFundMe account often to scroll through your feed and see what other people in your community are doing. You'll also receive a weekly email digest letting you know about updates since your last visit.

Edit notifications you receive

Once you’re following another supporter, you can edit the notifications you receive, share their profile, or unfollow them. Just follow these steps:

1. Go to your list of followers by clicking “Followers” under your bio
2. Find the profile you’re looking to take action on
3. On their profile, you’ll see a “Following” button. Click the drop down arrow

4. You’ll see options for Notifications, Share this profile, and Unfollow
5. To stop receiving notifications from them, select “Notifications” and toggle the option off

Hide activity from your profile

If you aren’t ready to share a new fundraiser you’re starting or don’t want to display a recent donation, you can hide activities from showing up on your feed. 

Any donations you make anonymously will automatically be hidden from your feed.

Follow these steps to hide an activity:

1. Sign into your GoFundMe account
2. Select “Profile” from the top right menu
3. Scroll to your list of activities and find the activity you’d like to hide
4. Click the three horizontal dots to the right of the menu
5. Select “Hide from activity list”
6. Confirm by clicking “Hide”

Once you hide an activity, it will be permanently removed from the list, so make sure you really want to hide it before completing these steps.
