About Us

We focus on developing software and services that allow nonprofits to benefit from Donor Driven fundraising.

We are dedicated to creating cost-effective ways for nonprofits to add Donor Driven fundraising to their development portfolio. We believe in fair up-front pricing, seamless integration, and great customer service.

What is Donor Driven Fundraising?
Donor Driven fundraising is any activity that supporters of nonprofits engage in voluntarily to raise money and awareness for the organization. Examples of Donor Driven fundraisers include:

  • Someone who organizes an event to benefit a charity
  • People raising money for a charity by running a marathon
  • Participants in a bike ride or walk who solicit donations for charity

What are the Benefits of Donor Driven Fundraising?
Donor Driven Fundraising is cost effective. It is driven by people who voluntarily engage in fundraising activities on behalf of an organization. Donor Driven fundraising adds to a nonprofit's fundraising opportunities without draining internal resources. Nonprofits can support many more Donor Driven events than internally run events because the work is being done at no cost by a volunteer.

Why are we needed?
In short, our products allow you to effecively and safely engage your fundraising donors to raise more money. Despite the obvious benefits of Donor Driven Fundraising many nonprofits avoid it because of the perceived "risks." Some nonprofits worry that their brand could be impacted by a poor event run by a volunteer without event planning experience. They also worry about the support that a donor/fundraiser would need. Others really don't know where to start. Our products are designed to make it easy for nonprofits to implement Donor Driven fundraising programs or incorporate Donor Driven fundraising into one of their existing campaigns. Our products allow nonprofits to support many successful Donor Driven fundraising activities while minimizing the "risks" of Donor Driven fundraising.

What makes us better?

  • Our stuff works. Our clients have raised nearly $2 million in the past year using our programs.
  • No gimmicks. We don't woo nonprofits with the promise of low up-front fees only to take percentages of their donations forever.
  • We're accessible. Our prices are fair and our value is proven. Our programs are turn-key and hassle-free.
