2025年,在经济紧张和惠益中断的推动下,GoFundMe看到基本需求运动猛增20%。 GoFundMe saw a 20% surge in basic needs campaigns in 2025, driven by economic strain and benefit disruptions.

GoFundMe报告说,满足住房、食品和公用事业等基本需求的运动增加了20%,比上一年继续增长四倍,这一趋势在美国、加拿大、英国和澳大利亚各地都有。 GoFundMe reported a 20% rise in campaigns for basic needs like housing, food, and utilities, continuing a fourfold increase from the previous year, with the trend seen across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia. 10月底和11月初,与粮食有关的筹款者增加了近六倍,同时政府倒闭,中断了国家营养计划的福利。 Food-related fundraisers surged nearly sixfold in late October and early November, coinciding with a government shutdown that disrupted SNAP benefits. 该平台的数据反映了工资停滞、就业增长疲软和失业率上升带来的日益严重的经济压力,在公共安全网不足时,迫使更多的人依赖人群筹资作为生命线。 The platform’s data reflects growing economic strain from stagnant wages, weak job growth, and rising unemployment, pushing more people to rely on crowdfunding as a lifeline when public safety nets fall short. 专家们指出,由于数字接入和社会网络障碍,这些数据没有反映出真正的需要,而像新奥尔良母亲Iesha Shepard这样的个人故事突出显示了这些运动背后的紧迫性。 Experts note the data underrepresents true need due to digital access and social network barriers, while personal stories like that of New Orleans mother Iesha Shepard highlight the urgency behind these campaigns.
