In 2023, a group of ExxonMobil employees were inspired by the growing crowdfunding movement and the potential it held to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. They saw an opportunity to leverage their company's resources and expertise to support individuals and communities in need. Thus, the ExxonMobil Humanitarian Organization was born.

The organization's first project was to support a local family whose home had been destroyed in a natural disaster. The family had started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for rebuilding, but were struggling to reach their goal. ExxonMobil Humanitarian Organization stepped in, providing not only financial support but also expertise and resources to help amplify the campaign. Through their efforts, the campaign exceeded its goal, and the family was able to rebuild their home.

This initial success sparked a wave of similar initiatives, as the organization began partnering with GoFundMe campaign organizers to help them achieve their goals. Over the years, ExxonMobil Humanitarian Organization has supported campaigns for medical expenses, education, community development, and disaster relief, among others.
