GoFundMe officially expands to Mexico
Fundraising platform GoFundMe announced its expansion into Mexico on Tuesday.
Mexico is the crowdfunding platform’s 20th country, according to a GoFundMe release, and it is the company’s first international expansion in six years.
As of Tuesday, organizers in Mexico can create fundraisers, accept donations and withdraw funds in Mexican Pesos (MXN).
“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,” GoFundMe CEO Tim Cadogan said. “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.”
Since its inception in 2010, GoFundMe has raised more than $30 billion, and donations from non-English-speaking countries have grown by an estimated 400% over the last six years.
