Ireland 'most generous country in the world' as over €30m donated via GoFundMe since 2016
Ireland is the "most generous country in the world" with more than €30m donated via GoFundMe since 2016, figures have revealed.
Rob Solomon, CEO of GoFundMe, said: “GoFundMe has become the ‘take action’ button of the internet - and nowhere is that more evident than in Ireland. “GoFundMe is a really simple and social way of enabling ordinary people to engage and support the causes they care about - a person puts a campaign out, a friend shares that campaign and soon tens, hundreds or even thousands of people are sharing and donating.
Some of the biggest Irish fundraising campaigns included 20-year-old Shauntelle Tynan’s life-saving treatment in America which raised €750,000 in two years.
