GoFundMe accelerates innovation with an increased commitment to nonprofits and community-driven giving

SAN DIEGO: Today, GoFundMe announced it has surpassed $40 billion raised globally, celebrating a major milestone in its mission to help people help each other. Reflecting its increasing investment in the nonprofit space, the company is also unveiling GoFundMe Pro – the next evolution in nonprofit fundraising, combining GoFundMe’s unmatched scale and intelligence with the powerful nonprofit software tools of Classy, which GoFundMe acquired in 2022.

GoFundMe has become the trusted platform where anyone can ask for or provide help during life’s most important moments. With $40 billion raised in 15 years, GoFundMe is now a global movement of nearly 200 million people and organizations. Today, GoFundMe empowers individuals and nonprofits with next-generation technologies that are reshaping how people help each other – from AI-powered fundraising features used more than 35 million times, to impact-sharing technology that directly inspired over 18 million donations in the last year.

“We exist to help people help each other,” said Tim Cadogan, CEO of GoFundMe. “Even with $40 billion raised, we’re still just getting started. The launch of GoFundMe Pro is a vital step forward for the future of charitable fundraising. It connects everything we’ve learned from operating the world’s largest individual giving platform with the innovative tools nonprofits need to grow, reach new audiences, and drive meaningful change.”

GoFundMe Pro is built with nonprofits, for nonprofits – reflecting the integrity, care, and transparency that today’s donors expect and deserve. Its industry-leading software, formerly known as Classy, gives nonprofits everything they need to fundraise everywhere. GoFundMe Pro fuses AI innovation with millions of fundraising data points, transforming how nonprofits connect with supporters across the world’s largest giving ecosystem. As part of the transition, the Classy brand will retire, with branding updates and new innovations continuing to launch throughout the year.

“For fifty years, charitable giving in the U.S. has hovered around just 2% of GDP,” continues Cadogan. “We believe it’s time to change that. GoFundMe Pro reinforces our long-term strategic commitment to nonprofits and represents a promise to empower them with the technology, trust, and partnership they need to inspire generosity and drive lasting impact, thereby transforming the way we help each other.”
