What is the core problem you are solving?
Online fundraising is an exciting opportunity. Why are so many amazing nonprofit organizations not excited about it? Cost dictated by platforms with unreasonably high fees and often a commission-based model that lacks integrity. Branding of the platform takes center-stage instead of the organization’s branding, domain, narrative and cause. Efficiency is hampered and opportunities lost due to lack of integration with the organization’s operations and critical systems.

Founding story
Izzy (CEO, Creative Director) and Grayson (CTO, Lead Developer) met at the coworking space where they were both renting offices. They immediately realized they were working in similar areas of the nonprofit industry – Grayson on the technical side as a senior developer, and Izzy on the strategy/creative side as a creative director, writer and designer. They spoke the same language, more or less – as much as a tech nerd and an artist could. It was like at first sight, and the love grew from there. They started working together on donor engagement solutions for some of Izzy’s clients, and HiRaiser was born when those initial creative visions and lines of code met.
