For nonprofits

Modernize your fundraising

Collaborate with community partners and fund like never before.

Talk about a campaign

Community campaigns were run by the organizations that already had the community.

What changed

Fund with partners, not at them

A partner’s crowd

A nonprofit’s own list is finite. A corporate or institutional partner’s community is not.

One campaign, several hosts

The platform was built to connect several organizations to the same project, so support compounded instead of competing.

Local money, local projects

The whole product was regional by design. Pittsburgh was the first market, not a test of a national one.

In Pittsburgh

The first three partners

The Pittsburgh Foundation, WQED and C-Leveled were running regional projects on the platform while it was still in beta. WQED is the local PBS affiliate; C-Leveled, a regional incubator; the Foundation, the city’s community foundation.

Where that was said

Regional crowdfunding was the point: money and projects from the same place.

Get going

Bring a campaign to your community

Nonprofits ran campaigns alongside corporate and institutional hosts, on one platform, under their own names.
