We Help Nonprofits Become More Effective
Mission
Our mission is to ensure no great cause goes unfunded. We are enormously proud to have helped people in 164 countries raise over $4.5 billion for good causes since we were founded in 2000.
Vision
We believe it’s not just what you do but how you do it. Our users trust us because we do not share their data with anyone without their permission. Uniquely, we never sell or trade personal information with third parties, or try to ‘upsell’ other services on the back of people’s generosity.
