== History == The company was founded in May 2010 by Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester. Both had previously founded Paygr, a website dedicated to allowing members to sell their services to the public. Damphousse and Ballester created the website under the name "CreateAFund" in 2008 but changed the name to GoFundMe after making numerous upgrades. The site was built off of PayPal's API. GoFundMe was founded in San Diego, California.
