    From Micah: Dear Friends and Family, I would first like to sincerely thank you for supporting and praying for me. Because of your generosity and encouragement, I was able to spend two weeks in Chiang Rai, Thailand serving the local community, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. During our time there, we worked hard to help improve the area for people who live there. We shoveled sand, helped build and reinforce walls, covered structures with tarp, and did many small but important jobs to make the space safer and more welcoming for the smaller children and the environment itself. The work was physically tiring, but it was rewarding to see visible progress each day and know that what we were doing would directly benefit the area. In addition to construction work, we also spent time playing football and running activities with the students. Even though there was sometimes a language barrier, sports made it easy to connect. One of my favorite moments on the trip was just playing the football (soccer) against local Thai youth teams. This trip challenged me in new ways. Working long hours in the heat pushed me physically, and stepping outside of my comfort zone helped me grow in confidence and patience. I also really appreciated the devotional and reflection times we had as a group. They gave me the opportunity to slow down, think about why we serve, and focus more intentionally on my faith. Overall, this trip was not only fun and exciting, but also meaningful. I came back with a greater appreciation for what I have and a better understanding of how small acts of service can make a big difference. Thank you again for being part of this journey with me. Your support truly made it possible. Sincerely, Micah

Frequently Asked Questions

A Location Community is an evergreen, place-based page on GoFundMe that brings together fundraising activity which originates in a specific city, region, or geography. It's designed to help people discover what members of their community are raising funds for - near or far - and see the collective impact of generosity raised.

Location Communities aggregate fundraisers connected to a specific place. Today, campaigns appear based on the organizer's location. This means you may see:

  • Fundraisers supporting someone in the same city
  • Campaigns benefiting someone in another state or country
  • National or global causes organized by someone locally

This reflects how giving and support actually works — people often care about things that happen everywhere, not only where they live. We are working to make sourcing more transparent so visitors understand why a fundraiser appears on a page.

Fundraisers currently appear based on where the organizer is located. Many people raise funds for loved ones outside their city, or for causes beyond their immediate geography. These are still real expressions of civic participation. To reduce confusion, we are evaluating ways to make this more evident to the users so the supporters of the Community understand how fundraisers are included.

The goal is transparency!

No. Location Communities are designed to reflect community activity — not editorial curation or endorsement by GoFundMe or local governments. These pages are a visibility layer. They show how residents are organizing and supporting one another.

Location Communities are built specifically for giving and impact. They provide:

  • Centralized discovery of local fundraisers
  • Ongoing activity updates
  • Aggregated impact metrics
  • Follow tools and notifications
  • A trusted donation infrastructure

Unlike social platforms, the focus is not conversation or algorithms designed to doomscrool or drive engagement for ad serving purposes. Communities are designed intentionally to direct people to the ongoing needs of their neighbors so that they can offer help or support by liking, sharing, or donating to a fundraiser.

No. These communities should not be used as hardship indexes. They show civic participation — moments of need and moments of generosity. The emphasis is on how residents show up for one another. They are meant to highlight resilience, action, and collective support.

Your fundraiser was added because it's connected to a shared cause or event —like a crisis, challenge, or location. Communities help bring related fundraisers together so supporters can better understand the bigger picture and find ways to help.

Being in a Community can help your fundraiser get more visibility. Supporters browsing the Community can discover your fundraiser alongside others connected to the same cause, see collective progress, and feel more confident donating as part of a trusted, organized effort. As part of helping you share your fundraiser more broadly, we may automatically cross-post certain updates you share that are relevant for the broader community.

No action was required on your part. Fundraisers are added automatically when they're clearly related to a specific cause.

Yes. If you don't want your fundraiser included, you can opt-out via the fundraiser manage page within your dashboard - simply toggle off the prompt for Allow my fundraiser to be found in search and discovery. Your fundraiser will still remain active and accessible on its own page.

Not at all. Your fundraiser stays fully yours—same goal, same donations, same updates. The Community is simply an additional way for supporters to discover and engage with your fundraiser.
