Have you ever wanted to help someone in need or start a project for your community? GoFundMe might be the answer! Let's learn how GoFundMe works.
What Can You Do on GoFundMe?
Since 2010, GoFundMe has helped millions of people raise money for personal needs, community projects, or charity events. Here's how it works:
＞ Start Your Action: Share your story with photos or videos. For example, you could raise money for a sick pet, a school garden, or a family facing difficulties.
＞ Set a Goal: Decide how much money you need. Even small amounts can make a big difference!
＞ Share Widely: Send your story to teachers and friends, and post it on social media to let more people give a helping hand.
Why Is GoFundMe Special?
Unlike traditional charities, GoFundMe lets donors(捐赠者)choose exactly where their money goes. If you care about animals, you can donate your money to an animal centre. If you want to help a classmate with a serious disease, you can do that too!
Is It Safe?
Yes! GoFundMe needs a little money(about 2.9% per donation)to keep the website running well. They also use strong security(安全)tools to protect everyone's personal information. Over 150 million people have trusted GoFundMe—it's one of the safest crowdfunding platforms(众筹平台)in the world.

Whether you want to help others or make your own dream come true, GoFundMe makes donation simple. Remember: Every great idea starts with a first step!
