Digital fundraising platform for education nonprofits

About GiveCampus

GiveCampus provides a digital fundraising platform specifically designed for schools, colleges, and universities to enhance their fundraising efforts. The platform allows educational institutions and nonprofit organizations to engage with their communities, alumni, and supporters to drive donations for various initiatives. It operates on a subscription-based software as a service (SaaS) model, where clients pay a fee to access tools for online giving, peer-to-peer fundraising, event management, and donor engagement. This enables clients to create and manage fundraising campaigns, track donations, and interact with donors more effectively. Unlike many competitors, GiveCampus focuses exclusively on the education sector, serving a diverse range of clients from small private schools to large universities. The company's goal is to help educational institutions maximize their fundraising potential and streamline their donation processes.
