Editor’s note: On Dec. 16,Nanda van Bergen a GoFundMe campaign was launched to fund President Trump’s demand for a border wall. When this note was published on Dec. 21, that campaign had raised $12.6 million. Until the funds are successfully disbursed to the U.S. government for that purpose, this list will not be revised to include the wall campaign.

GoFundMe, the world’s largest social fundraising platform, released its annual "Year in Giving" report for 2018, which includes data about the most generous U.S. states and cities, global trends, and best of all, the top fundraisers by the numbers.

The Time's Up Legal Defense Fund, founded to provide legal support to people who have experienced sexual assault and harassment in the workplace, raised $22 million to become the largest GoFundMe campaign of all time.

The top 10 fundraisers of 2018 collectively raised $58 million. Nearly two-thirds of people who donated to GoFundMe campaigns were first-time donors. Not only were people eager to give, they were also quick. A fundraiser for the Humboldt Broncos, a hockey team in Canada involved in a fatal bus crash that killed 16 people and injured 13 others, received 1.9 million views in the first 24 hours.
