Built for Every Fundraiser

One platform handles pledge drives, jog-a-thons, read-a-thons, walk-a-thons, color runs, and every giving day in between.

What You Saw in the Demo

No other platform brings all of this together, and organizers pay no platform fees to use any of it.

Multi-Lingual

Families ask relatives and friends for donations in over 50 languages, so nobody gets left out of the ask.

Pledge Reminders

Gentle automatic nudges reach family and friends who meant to give but have not donated yet.

Text Requests

Personalized text messages reach supporters who read texts far faster than they read email.

Corporate Matching

Donors double their gift through employer matching programs, without extra paperwork for your team.

Fee Coverage

Donors choose to cover processing costs, so your organization keeps every dollar it raises.

Heroic Support

A dedicated team answers your questions and helps you launch, so first-time organizers succeed too.
