Reach & monetize users that have opted-out due to laws, regulations and ad blocking technology. The vast majority of privacy-first users are not opposed to ads. They are tired of being abused and have taken action to prevent it. Most advertisers and publishers assume that ad block users have chosen not to see any ads, but this is simply wrong. Ad block users are willing to see and even engage with ads at higher rates than other audiences. Only about 12% of these users want to avoid all ads. These users are simply overwhelmed with ads that disrupt their experience, invade their privacy, spread viruses and slow down page load times. These users are open to high-quality ad experiences to support the free internet.

There are a billion good intentions tucked inside each and every one of us. At GoFundMe, we believe that the impulse to help a person, fix a neighborhood, or change a nation should never be ignored.

By giving people the tools they need to capture and share their story far and wide, we have built a community of more than 200 million donors and helped organizers raise over $15 billion for the causes important to them—and we are just getting started. Check out current job openings, join our team, and be a part of the change below. ## GoFundMe has assembled one of the best management teams in the business to build the next leading consumer Internet company, including leaders from LinkedIn, Groupon, and Google.

Features include: • “No Platform Fee” Model & Flexible Pricing Plans: Nonprofits save more than just subscription fees. As an industry first, GoFundMe Charity™ offers customers two transaction-based pricing plans: either a guaranteed 0% platform fee with an option for donors to leave a voluntary “tip” for GoFundMe’s services and support, or a flexible option with donor-covered fees. • Free Integrations with CRM Tools: GoFundMe Charity™ uploads data directly into CRM and marketing programs to help charities grow and retain donors. • Registration & Ticketing Tools for Events of all Sizes: Whether a RSVP for a backyard BBQ fundraiser, a large multi-team event, or gala, people can manage the registration and ticketing components of a fundraising event– from any device, any time, with all the data in one place. In addition to GoFundMe Charity™, we are launching a new, easy way for nonprofits to collect donations from any website: Donate Button by GoFundMe: The button can be embedded into any third-party website for an effective way to collect donations immediately, without setting up a GoFundMe Charity™ account or campaign. By using the Donate Button by GoFundMe, nonprofits receive the power of GoFundMe’s payments platform, with full access to donor analysis, automated receipts, recurring payments, easy reconciliation, and dedicated customer support. The button can be customized with suggested donation amounts, branding and colors to fit their site, and has plug-ins for the most popular content management systems.

We are bringing together a portfolio of exceptional apps and providing the back-end technology and human resources necessary to accelerate their growth trajectory (e.g. legal, accounting, marketing, engineering, monetization, consumer acquisition and engagement, analytics). Due to competitive and regulatory headwinds, as well as operating system restrictions, the market is squeezing revenue opportunities for small developers and publisher businesses. who need to either grow faster or risk failure. Loyal offers developers and publishers two pathways for their own business and professional success: - When an app publisher sells to Loyal, they achieve their desired exit and can pursue new ventures. - When an app publisher chooses to join our community of great mobile app content providers, they can remain as key members of a larger organization, and subsequently achieve the scaled benefits of a large publisher to maximize revenues through subscriptions, advertising, cross promotion, in-app payments, affiliate, sponsorships, and other monetization pathways.
