Ireland: The world’s most generous country

GoFundMe CEO Tim Cadogan shares insights on Ireland's global ranking for charity donations

Irish fundraisers have drummed up almost €250 million in total through various GoFundMe campaigns.

GoFundMe, the world's leading crowdfunding platform, last October celebrated a significant milestone in Ireland as it marked 5 million donations, equating to almost €250 million across Irish fundraisers. Ireland has also retained its status as the most generous country on the GoFundMe platform globally.

When it comes to generosity, Galway stands out as the most giving county in Ireland, closely followed by Limerick and Cork, based on the number of donations per capita on the GoFundMe platform. In 2022, Ireland maintained its reputation as the world's most generous country on GoFundMe for the fourth consecutive year, a testament to the nation's compassionate spirit. To commemorate this achievement, GoFundMe CEO, Tim Cadogan, shared insights into the platform’s impact in Ireland, and the unique position Ireland holds where ‘community’ is the top category on the GoFundMe platform.
