GoFundMe: Powered by donors

Millions of people turn to GoFundMe in times of need to support themselves, friends, and strangers. In addition to their donation, donors may choose to leave us a voluntary tip. We use these tips to help us operate the company and provide an effective, safe and secure experience for all our users around the world. We are grateful to all the donors who choose to leave us a voluntary tip.
