Communities on GoFundMe

Communities are a place to connect with other like-minded people and non-profits focused on causes you care about. Stay updated on  fundraisers you care about, or discover related ones, engage with others, and see how small acts of generosity add up to something bigger.

Why was my fundraiser added to a Community?

Your fundraiser was added because it’s related to a shared cause or event—like a crisis, challenge, or location. Communities help bring related fundraisers together so supporters can better understand the bigger picture and find ways to help.

What does being part of a Community mean for my fundraiser?

Being in a Community can help your fundraiser get more visibility. Supporters browsing the Community can discover your fundraiser alongside others connected to the same cause, see collective progress, and feel more confident donating as part of a trusted, organized effort.

As part of helping you share your fundraiser more broadly, we may automatically cross-post certain updates you share that are relevant for the broader community.

Did I do anything to opt into this?

No action was required on your part. Fundraisers are added automatically when they’re clearly related to a specific cause. 

Can I remove my fundraiser from the Community?

Yes. If you don’t want your fundraiser included, you can opt-out via the fundraiser manage page within your dashboard—simply toggle off the prompt for “Allow my fundraiser to be found in search and discovery”. Your fundraiser will still remain active and accessible on its own page.

Does this change how my fundraiser works?

Not at all. Your fundraiser stays fully yours—same goal, same donations, same updates. The Community is simply an additional way for supporters to discover and engage with your fundraiser.

Can I be added to a Community page?

The fundraisers that appear on GoFundMe Community pages are curated by an algorithm that ensures they’re relevant to the cause the Community is focused on. As long as you’re raising funds for the cause a Community is focused on, your fundraiser may be featured.
