Why we built it this way
Most fundraising is built around a single action: donate money. It works, but it means only the people with cash to spare can take part, and it asks them again every time.
Meanwhile, value moves through ordinary life constantly. People sell things, trade skills, and clear out what they no longer need. Almost none of it ever reaches the campaigns they care about.
OpenGiving connects the two, so supporting something doesn't depend on having money left over.
Contributions that stay with you
Your credit history follows you. So does your work history. What you've given to doesn't.
GivingProfiles keep that record. Not to turn supporting someone into a game, but so trust and recognition can build the way any other reputation does.
Where we are
Working today
- A marketplace for physical goods, digital products, and services
- Campaigns that receive 5-100% of every sale (0-100% for a digital item)
- Direct contributions to any campaign
- GivingProfiles that record what you've supported
What we're building next
- Public, verifiable records of where money went
- Richer proof of impact from organizers
- More ways to support a campaign without cash
