In a nutshell: GoFundMe is a versatile fundraising platform that allows you to raise funds for yourself, a loved one, or an organization. To update your fundraising link, log in to your account, navigate to your Dashboard, and click Edit below the title of your campaign. Enter a unique custom link, publish the changes, and then share the link on social media. Once you've reached your fundraising goal, you can withdraw the funds to a bank account of your choice. Remember, the fundraising link can only be edited once and should match your campaign's theme.
GoFundMe is the perfect platform for your fundraising drives. You can fundraise for yourself, for someone you care about or for an organization. It's easy to get started — just click the Start a GoFundMe on the home page and follow the on-screen prompts. You'll just have to answer a few questions about your fundraising efforts, including bank information for receiving funds. You can share the fundraiser link via text, email or social media. You can also add team members to help you raise funds for your cause. If you want to update your fundraising link, read this guide.
You need to sign in to your account first to update the fundraising link. Just log in using your email address and password.
If you forgot your password, tap Forgot the Password below the password box and follow the reset password instructions on the email.
You'll be taken to your Dashboard after signing in. From the fundraiser Dashboard, tap Edit just below the title of your fundraising campaign. For users who are using the mobile app, simply scroll down and tap Edit.
Enter the custom link for your fundraiser in the box. Make sure the link is unique.
Note that once the link has been changed and published, you can no longer change it via the dashboard. If you decide to change the link again, you'll have to click Contact Us to contact GoFundMe's Customer Support.
If you decide to change the link, the old link will no longer work. Make sure to post an update if you change the fundraising link. Otherwise, people can't view your fundraising drive.
After editing the links for your fundraising, feel free to share them on your social media profiles. Just click on the title of the fundraising and then tap Share.
You can share your GoFundMe link on your Facebook timeline, your Instagram story or homepage and Twitter. You can also ask your friends to share your Facebook post to reach more people.
Once you've raised enough funds for your fundraising efforts, sign back into your account, and go to your Dashboard to withdraw your funds. You can transfer the funds to a business's bank account, to your bank account or to someone else's. If you have questions, please contact Customer Support. Transfers can take two to five business days, depending on the receiving bank. GoFundMe also processes online payment systems, including Venmo, PayPal and CashApp.
Keep in mind that the fundraising link can only be edited once, and it must also be unique from other fundraiser links. Also, make sure that the link also fits your fundraising drive. Better yet, match the customized link to your title.
For the title, consider using the formula: <Action>, < Who>, <Cause>. For example: <Support>, <My Friend Rachel>, <In Funding Her Surgery>. You can also use the title for your link. The fundraising link will be: "gofundme.com/f/Support_My_Friend_Rachell_In_Funding_Her_Surgery.

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like GoFundMe in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How do I change my campaign link on GoFundMe? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible.
