More than 20,000 GoFundMe campaigns have now been created by people in Ireland, the site has revealed. Campaigns have been started for a range of causes from sports to education to medical.
The milestone figure announcement comes as the site revealed 860,000 donations have been made to Irish GoFundMe campaigns and more than €40 million has been donated via GoFundMe in Ireland.
The continuing growth in campaigns and donations via GoFundMe in Ireland means that Ireland remains the most generous countries in the world as more people per capita take action and donate through GoFundMe more than any other country.
In Ireland GoFundMe relies on voluntary tips from donors at the point of donation to help with the costs associated with providing its best-in-class customer service, trust and safety protections, and social fundraising technology.
Rob Solomon, Chairman and CEO of GoFundMe said, “Millions of people across Ireland are paving the way for a worldwide explosion in online giving. With one in 10 people here using GoFundMe to give quickly, safely and securely to the personal causes they care about most, GoFundMe has become Ireland’s ‘Take Action’ button. We are delighted that more and more Irish people are supporting those in need.”
