Fundly Helps Raise Over $250,000,000!

When Fundly was created four years ago, it was with the idea that social media networking was on the verge of exploding and that a tool was needed to harness this potential to raise funding for social good.  Now, with clients ranging from established nonprofits, to smaller accounts helping individuals fighting illnesses, to political candidates, Fundly has crossed the $250,000,000 mark and has aided more than 25,000 clients in creating online fundraising pages.

“Fundly’s mission is to help more people give more, and we are delighted with our success to-date in advancing that mission,” commented co-founder and CEO of Fundly, Dave Boyce. “We are amazed and inspired every day by the generosity and commitment of Fundly’s customers and those who support their campaigns in such heartfelt and innovative ways.”

As the world’s #1 crowdfunding for social good platform, we strive to consistently create a quality product that is simple to set up and is easy for donors to give regardless of the size of the organization or fundraiser. Habitat for Humanity has launched more than 650 fundraising campaigns on Fundly’s platform with thousands of volunteer fundraisers raising more than $1.5 million to-date for building Habitat houses on four continents. Teach for America has also successfully incorporated Fundly into their fundraising strategy in 20 regions nation-wide to raise more than $400,000 to-date with the goal of partnering with professionals to ensure that all kids have access to an excellent education.

Social media can be intimidating for many nonprofit leaders as a new platform for fundraising and a medium for donor communication. With a staff of exceptional businessmen, software technicians, and systems operators ranging in backgrounds from Oracle to Google, this team has thoughtfully designed a free platform for nonprofits, politicians, and individuals alike to access the unlimited number of donors that can be reached through Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and other social networking sites. Not only is a Fundly webpage easy to set-up, but biweekly blogs are posted to provide a plethora of fundraising tips and there is a weekly Tweet Up for individuals to ask questions directly to our panel of experts. Fundly strives to help organizations in every aspect of fundraising to obtain profitable results.

Tom Kramer, VP of Marketing, sums up Fundly’s success perfectly: “Fundly’s growth is a testament to our inspiring fundraisers and their generous donors. We provide the platform, but they provide the passion. They have big goals and we love helping them. Here’s to the next $250,000,000!!!”
