GO FUND ME

When it comes to raising funds to help friends and family or raising money for a good cause, today’s kids and teens have a distinct advantage. They can tap the power of crowdfunding as digital natives—raised in a world with social media, they’re connected to almost everyone they’ve ever met. That makes it possible to reach hundreds, if not thousands, of people—all while changing the world for the better.

Many are both expert tech users and passionate about social causes and contributing to make a difference, making them ideal candidates for charitable crowdfunding. Most of all, online fundraising with GoFundMe is an incomparable learning experience.

• Teens gain valuable interpersonal skills by leading an online fundraising fundraiser and enlisting the help of their peers.
• Crowdfunding requires them to craft a compelling story and sell it to potential donors–an ability that becomes crucial later in life.
• The experience of asking for help to support a cause fosters humility and a sense of compassion toward those in need.
