GoFundMe campaigns.

Next year it will be 10 years since GoFundMe was founded in San Diego, California. Since then our simple, powerful fundraising platform has become synonymous with people helping other people online. In a world where the internet’s more negative elements tend to dominate the headlines, GoFundMe shows the best of humanity - campaign by campaign, donation by donation. That’s why, when my team in the UK suggested we team up with The Independent for this year’s Happy List, we said “yes” immediately.

The Happy List is a life affirming collection of powerful, inspiring stories which celebrate the very best of what brings people together. Personal connection, empathy, solidarity: each year, the Happy List has us crying and laughing and beaming with joy all at once.

The same is true of what we see every day at GoFundMe. We’ve built the world’s largest fundraising platform with over £5 billion raised for people and causes around the world.
