YouCaring was a crowdfunding website for personal, medical, and charitable causes. The company was a Certified B corporation based in San Francisco, California.[1] YouCaring did not take a percentage of funds raised on its site, or charge those raising funds a fee (any fees associated with third-party credit card processors such as PayPal are paid by donors).[2][3][4] The company relied on voluntary donations from donors to fund operations.[5] YouCaring was acquired by GoFundMe in 2018.[6]
