About Us

At Funraiser, we believe in the power of inclusive communities. Whether it's supporting a local troop, a faith-based organization, or a community-driven initiative, our mission is to make fundraising simple, more effective, and more impactful for everyone. We understand that every dollar raised has the potential to make a real difference, and we're dedicated to providing tools that help you maximize your fundraising potential with minimal effort, ensuring that all groups have the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

Our Story

Funraiser was born out of a passion for making a positive impact. As parents actively involved in organizations like American Heritage Girls (AHG) and Trail Life USA for over six years, we experienced firsthand the challenges of fundraising. We wanted to create a solution that not only met the unique needs of these organizations but also expanded to serve a broader range of community groups.

Our journey began with our own AHG and Trail Life USA troops, where we piloted Funraiser to great success. By shifting from traditional fundraising methods to a direct donation model, we were able to significantly increase the funds retained by our troops. This success inspired us to share Funraiser with other organizations, helping them achieve similar results and making a greater impact in their communities.
