What Donors Want
As fundraisers, we all want the same thing—to raise more without wasting a dime. That’s why we asked donors how they give, what they notice about fees, and what matters most when they choose where to give.
🎯 Introducing Pledge Chaser: No More Lost Pledges. Just More Donations.
Every fundraiser knows this story:Someone says, “I’ll give later,” and you believe them. But then… nothing.Life gets busy. The link gets lost. And that donation never comes in.Pledge Chaser changes that.

The duo joined forces in 2022 and began building GoodChange to provide an easier way for political campaigns to raise money. The app debuted in 2023. They followed that up with SmartChange in 2024, an app targeting nonprofits in arenas other than politics.\"
