The Givesback program is designed to deepen the connection between employees and the causes they care about while amplifying the stories of both our employees and customers. By supporting meaningful fundraisers, the program strives to expand its impact internally and externally, strengthen community relationships, and demonstrate our shared commitment to helping people help each other.

We are excited to share that the opportunities for giving back are expanding! With the Alpha phase of the GoFundMe Giving Fund launching in April, we wanted to make sure all employees had visibility into all of the ways GoFundMe engages in giving back and provide timely updates on how the programs will run for the remainder of 2025.

As of June 1, 2025, the Givesback Program will remain open exclusively to international employees and international fundraisers.
