Today, GoFundMe, the world’s largest social fundraising platform, launched its first ever WordPress plugin that makes it easy to accept donations on third party sites. The news comes as part of the highly-anticipated launch of GoFundMe Charity™, a new fundraising suite for nonprofits. The new products were announced a few weeks ago, and thousands of charities are already on the waitlist to receive the enterprise-level fundraising features. Starting today, the Donate Button by GoFundMe and GoFundMe Charity are available.
With the new Donate Button by GoFundMe, nonprofit organizations, corporations, and anyone who wants to raise money on their behalf will have the ability to add the WordPress plugin directly to their site. By using this plugin, anyone has access to the best payment processing experience and social fundraising expertise, from anywhere.
“GoFundMe has become the internet’s ‘take action” button,’ said Rob Solomon, CEO of GoFundMe. “With the Donate Button by GoFundMe, we are expanding this idea by giving people the ability to add an easy WordPress plugin to their site and raise money for charities and organizations. They can do it right from their own site in a matter of minutes, while still getting all of the support and payment processing powered by the largest and most trusted social fundraising site. WordPress makes it easy and is a vital platform in the web ecosystem. We want to make it simple for people to make an impact by simply adding a button when they are creating and managing their own sites.”
