What We Do
-
GiveWhale, our custom technology, manages all incoming donation requests, replies to every inquiry, collects receipts for every donation, generates marketing assets for donation recipients, and creates regular impact reports for businesses to share with their community.
-
We connect businesses to nonprofits, schools, and community organizations to develop mutually-beneficial partnerships, on-site events and co-branded products that generate revenue while supporting great causes.

We help businesses place unique auction items in charity auctions taking place in their community. Businesses consign items, allowing them to earn revenue, market to new customers, and support the causes that matter to them while providing exciting experiences to their guests.

We provide comprehensive communications support, so that both businesses and nonprofits can benefit from their partnerships and amplify one another. Businesses see more media mentions, influencer engagement, better brand awareness, increased loyalty, and improved staff morale.
