GoFundMe Charity Being Shut Down
February 10, 2021
GoFundMe Charity is being merged into GoFundMe.com, shutting down the fundraising-dedicated site on Sept. 30. Campaigns will not be able to be transferred to GoFundMe.com and recurring gift arrangements will be cancelled on that date.
GoFundMe Charity will end support for third-party integrations and the public Application Programming Interface (API) after March 31, according to an announcement from the firm.
GoFundMe declined to provide a spokesperson for interview but provided a statement to
The NonProfit Times. It read, in part: “To best serve our charity customers, GoFundMe Charity is uniting with GoFundMe.com to bring personal and charity fundraising together under one platform. This investment in a unified experience will make it easier for donors and fundraisers to discover and support charities, while allowing charities to engage and connect with GoFundMe’s global community.”
