    Frosty could not make it and we had to say goodbye on 4/10. Thank you everyone who tried to help and it did help a lot to keep him comfortable towards the end. He was the best dog ever and will never be forgotten

  5. August

    Hey team! August here. Thank you all for all your love and support, I cannot tell you how much it has meant to me. That being said- I have good and bad news. The bad news first: I have had to postpone my surgery. Turns out the world (UCI) has played a wicked trick on me-- the surgeon I was scheduled with is actually out of office the whole month of April (insane oversight), and then leaves the hospital I was scheduled at at the end of May. This I gotta be honest, knocked the wind out of my sails incredibly, and left me feeling super discombobulated and hurt. Things on the top surgery front were looking a little grim -- like wait another year -plus grim. But as one of my much wiser trans friends said, being trans is a marathon, not a sprint. So, I set back to work scheduling consultations, meetings, crying on the phone to my loved ones, so on, and made some headway. So now, the good news! I got another consultation, and timing willing, am looking at a late summer/early fall surgery date. Hooray! So things have shifted timeline wise, but when one door closes another one opens so on so forth. I will keep you all updated on dates/timing/fundraising needs and thanks again for the love. Talk soon, A.

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.
