GoFundMe is a crowdfunding website specializing in funding for certain life events. As a primary source, it should usually be avoided for topics involving crowdfunding campaigns where better sources are available. The 2020 RfC gained a consensus for GoFundMe to be placed on the Wikipedia spam blacklist; links must be whitelisted before they can be used. In 2018, crowdfunding site YouCaring was acquired by GoFundMe; YouCaring's content is no longer accessible unless archived.
