Victoria, British Columbia, has claimed the top spot for the second consecutive year. Regina meanwhile, cracked the top 20 at number 15. The Queen City had 11,000 donors in the platform in 2024.
In 2024, over 19,500 Victorians donated through the platform, representing 21.3 per cent of the city’s population — more than one in five residents.
Across Canada, one in 13 adults made a donation on GoFundMe this year, raising $280 million for people, causes, and organizations worldwide. This marks an 8% increase compared to the $259 million raised in 2023.
