On October 27, Tropical Storm Trami, known locally as Kristine, made landfall across the Philippines, leaving a path of destruction from flooding and landslides. The GoFundMe community is coming together to help people rebuild and recover. Our Trust & Safety team will continue to update this page with more fundraisers as they are verified.
Tips for fundraising for Tropical Storm Trami relief
Here are three fast and safe ways you can help people in the Philippines affected by the recent flooding.
- Donate to a verified fundraiser that supports relief efforts. Our Trust & Safety team has verified the fundraisers on this centralized hub and will continue to add verified fundraisers to it as more become available.
- Start a certified charity fundraiser for a verified organization providing critical support to those affected by the flooding.
- Start an individual fundraiser for a friend or family member in the Philippines.*
*While we accept donations worldwide, only people in supported countries or territories can start fundraisers for their friends and family members in the Philippines. Since GoFundMe cannot send funds directly to the Philippines at this time, you will be personally responsible for withdrawing the funds and transferring them to your beneficiary in the Philippines.
