“Our customers’ stories touch my heart every day, and being able to show them that I care is an incredible gift. The more connected we all are, the better.”

Gives Back isn’t just a program. It’s the spirit of GoFundMe.
Started by GoFundMe’s founders, the Gives Back program puts our core values of spreading empathy and doing the right thing into practice. Over the years, we have given millions of dollars back to fundraisers that move us.
Why we give back
“Our customers’ stories touch my heart every day, and being able to show them that I care is an incredible gift. The more connected we all are, the better.”

“The good we’ve all wanted to do in the world, the support we’ve needed ourselves at some point… Gives Back makes it real. It’s people helping people.”
Lauren, GoFundMe team member since 2018
“I love being able to show people that good things truly do happen to good people, especially when they’re least expecting it.”

At GoFundMe, every Tuesday is Giving Tuesday.
Every week, our employees have the opportunity to nominate a fundraiser for Gives Back. And if selected, GoFundMe makes a donation of up to $5K to that fundraiser on Giving Tuesday.
Gives Back allows our employees to see first-hand the direct and powerful impact of their work. Quarterly, GoFundMe invites Gives Back recipients to speak at our offices and give our employees the opportunity to listen and learn from our customers’ experiences.
