Utah was one of GoFundMe‘s most generous states of 2025, the global crowdfunding platform revealed Tuesday.
The Beehive State ranked 10th in the company’s 2025 Year in Help report, which analyzed data from Dec. 4, 2024, to Dec. 2 of this year. Utah’s ranking was calculated based on the percentage of repeat donors.
California was the nation’s most generous state.
The report also listed some of Utah’s most notable fundraisers from the past year. One raised over $438,000 for the family of late Utah fashion designer Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, who was killed during the June “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, while another generated more than $80,000 to give an 8-month-old baby who was killed in a West Valley City shooting a “proper farewell.”
