GoFundMe today announced its expansion into Mexico, one of the largest economies in Latin America. Mexico becomes the 20th country fully supported on the GoFundMe platform and is the company’s first international expansion in nearly six years.
“Launching in our 20th country is a huge milestone which will provide people across Mexico with a safe, easy, and powerful way to raise money for the people and causes they care about. ” said Tim Cadogan, GoFundMe CEO. “Every country we’ve gone into has adopted GoFundMe in its own unique way but there is a common underlying theme shared everywhere: the desire to help each other is a universal human truth.”
GoFundMe organizers in Mexico can now create fundraisers, accept donations, and withdraw funds in Mexican Pesos (MXN). This expansion is part of the company’s broader effort to safely deliver even more help from its global community, which together with its nonprofit platform, already totals more than $30 billion since 2010. GoFundMe is experiencing rapid adoption throughout the world, with 400% growth in donation volume in non-English language countries over the last six years.
