Listing Description

About Us
We believe that generosity has the power to create profound change in the world and in the heart of the giver.
With that in mind, it’s our mission to move the needle on global generosity by helping nonprofits better connect with and inspire their givers.
 
Our Guiding Principles 
Build Better: Looking to build audacious ideas to accelerate philanthropy and dismantle the status quo? We hire the best and brightest to reshape and grow generosity. We are endlessly curious and our work is never done.
 
Be Responsive: Do you believe personal relationships drive generosity? You might be one of us! We listen and personalize. We play the long game. We are nimble and lead with empathy to build better solutions for our customers, team, and partners.
 
Stay Humble & Enjoy What You Do: We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We lead by serving. No team member is a “big deal”. We lead with humility and understanding, we laugh often and take joy in helping one another. We celebrate each other and believe life is too short not to LOVE what you do.
 
Grow Together: We are like ants. Each team member is able to lift 100 times their own weight, but we recognize that the sum of our parts is greater than the whole. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We have high expectations for each other but we foster flexibility.
