With GoFundMe’s new live fundraising tools, you can raise money for whatever you’re passionate about right on your livestream. Whether you’re gaming for good or hosting a fitness class, it’s easy to set clear goals, real-time alerts, and even share QR codes.
Best of all, you don’t have to start a fundraiser to share a GoFundMe on your stream – anyone can do it using fundraisers that are already on GoFundMe.
Our custom live fundraising tools integrate seamlessly with platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, allowing you to collect donations in real time from your viewers. Imagine your fans actively contributing while enjoying your live content—it’s a game changer for fundraising.
GoFundMe partnered* with TikTok creator Tess Bohne (@tessdear) and the Swiftie community to power a live fundraising effort during Taylor Swift’s tour, raising over $35,000 from 1,500 donors—well beyond the original $13,000 goal, which was hit before the concert even began. Tess used GoFundMe’s live fundraising tools to demo QR code donations, highlight real-time donor shout-outs, and turn her stream into a powerful moment of collective giving. Fans were deeply engaged, not just by the concert, but by the opportunity to support important causes like Coburn Place (a domestic violence shelter) and Valencia flood relief. With each stream, Tess showed how easy it is to turn entertainment into meaningful action.
To mark GoFundMe’s 15th anniversary, we launched our first-ever Fund-A-Thon—a 15-hour livestream hosted by creator John Wolfe. Broadcast across Twitch and YouTube, the event featured 15 individual and nonprofit fundraisers, each with a dedicated hour. Powered by our live fundraising tools—like real-time donation alerts, QR codes, and progress bars—the Fund-A-Thon raised $60,209, breaking John’s previous single-day record and showing what’s possible when community, storytelling, and technology come together.
During their annual Hockey Fights Cancer game, the Nashville Predators brought live fundraising into the arena, using GoFundMe’s tools to raise $36,500 for the 365 Cancer Fund. Fans could track donation progress on the video board in real time, scan QR codes from their seats, and see the impact of their contributions instantly. With a live progress bar and real-time updates, the experience added excitement to giving and turned the entire arena into an active part of the cause.
When fellow creators Colin & Samir lost their homes in the Pacific Palisades fire, Dude Perfect rallied their massive fanbase using GoFundMe’s live fundraising tools—raising over $250,000 during a 24-hour HQ reveal livestream. Viewers engaged in real time through on-screen donation alerts, a live progress bar, and easy-to-use QR codes. The result? A single act of support turned into hundreds of thousands in donations, showcasing the incredible power of creator communities when paired with real-time giving tools.
