Create a campaign
On GoFundMe Pro, you’ll raise funds through the campaigns you share with your supporters.
Tip: We recommend starting with a Studio donation page or an embedded form to get familiar with the platform and start raising funds quickly.
To create a campaign:
- In GoFundMe Pro, go to Campaigns
- Select Create new campaign
- Select the type of campaign you want to create
Campaign types
The campaign type you choose depends on your needs. We recommend taking our brief quiz to determine which works best for your use case.
Direct giving
Use our Campaign Studio builder to quickly create a donation page for segmented appeals or an embedded form for your website's main donation button.
See our guides on each type for more information:

Peer-to-peer
Peer-to-peer campaigns let supporters fundraise on your behalf and are a great way to expand your network of supporters. Supporters can also submit a direct donation rather than setting up a fundraising page if they don’t want to set up a page.
You have two options for peer-to-peer campaigns:
-
GoFundMe peer-to-peer: Create a peer-to-peer campaign within Studio that leverages GoFundMe for the fundraising experience to maximize impact and engagement.
- Best for quickly launching a campaign and for individual fundraising on GoFundMe.
-
Classic peer-to-peer: Launch a fully customizable peer-to-peer campaign where supporters can join or create teams and fundraise together.
- Best for team fundraising and greater brand control options.
Events
Hosting an event is a great way to engage current supporters and attract new ones. You can choose to create a standard ticketed event or combine an event with peer-to-peer fundraising.
Ticketed event
Create a ticketed event if you're looking to sell tickets to a fundraising event. You control the number and types of tickets you offer, and you can create promo codes to attract even more attendees.
Registration with fundraising
Registration with fundraising campaigns are great if you’re ready for more advanced fundraising events like marathons, walks, and dance-a-thons. In addition to paying to attend your event, supporters can also set up personal or team fundraising pages to raise more money before or during your event.
