Frequently asked questions
Smart coaching is an AI-powered experience built right into GoFundMe. It helps organizers create fundraisers, set a goal, share with the right people, and keep momentum going.
It offers personalized guidance, ready-to-use content, and timely reminders based on where you are in your fundraising journey.
Whether it’s your first fundraiser or your tenth, smart coaching meets you wherever you are.
Smart fundraising coaching is for anyone creating a GoFundMe, especially:
- First-time organizers who aren’t sure how to start or what to say.
- Organizers with past fundraisers that have stalled or didn’t gain traction.
- People fundraising for themselves, who often need more guidance.
- Experienced organizers who want faster setup, smarter sharing, and less guesswork.
Smart coaching helps you at every step. This can include:
- Helping to draft your title, story, and recommending a strong image.
- Suggesting a fundraising goal based on similar successful GoFundMe fundraisers.
- Recommending what to do next to build momentum.
- Providing ready-to-share messages for text, email, or social.
