Givebutter was founded in 2016 by Max Friedman, Liran Cohen, and Ari Krasner with a simple belief: nonprofits deserve modern, intuitive technology that helps them raise more money and build deeper relationships with their supporters.
What began as a small startup built by three college friends has grown into the leading all-in-one fundraising and nonprofit CRM platform, helping tens of thousands of organizations raise billions of dollars for causes around the world.
Today, Givebutter remains focused on building the home for nonprofits—a unified platform that brings fundraising, donor management, marketing, and finance together in one place.
