GoFundMe says users have raised $50 billion

GoFundMe said its global community has raised more than $50 billion for individuals and nonprofits around the world.

The fundraising platform said more than 200 million people have donated through GoFundMe and nearly 40% have given more than once. The company said those platform statistics were based on its internal data.

GoFundMe also introduced The Kind 50, a list of 50 people and organisations it says helped others over the past year. The list includes a fourth grader who biked 300 miles in one month for cancer research, actor Lupita Nyong'o for a fundraising and awareness campaign for fibroids research, and the Music Man Project, which brought performers with disabilities from the United Kingdom to Broadway in New York.

The company also cited U.S. survey findings from YouGov. GoFundMe said the survey found that 66% of all respondents felt happier after financially supporting someone in need, rising to 82% among those who had used GoFundMe.

GoFundMe said the YouGov survey covered 4,141 U.S. adults and was carried out online from September 16 to 21, 2026. It said the figures were weighted to represent U.S. adults aged 18 and over.
