OUR JOURNEY

2019

HELLO DONOR IS FOUNDED

The game plan to help schools and nonprofits was developed with a passion to equip and support fundraising in a brand new way that will be easy, fun, secure, and most importantly, provide recurring revenues. Development of the technology was built and tested and re-tested to ensure success for our clients and Hello Donor.

2020

FUNDING, COVID-19 & LAUNCH

Little did we know when we developed our platform to be contact-less, event-less, using digital change, and require little to no volunteers that we were in the ideal position for what was to happen with Covid-19 for our product launch. $1M in funding was raised to expand. We quickly grew to clients in 8 states.

2021

HELLO DONOR EXPANDS

With our focus on constant improvement in the technology, customer support, partnerships with great companies, and what is best for our client as our #1 priority, Hello Donor grew to 13 states. We continue to improve everywhere we can and draw incredible talent with a passion to help others.

OUR PASSION

OUR WORLD HAS CHANGED

The way we fundraise must change as well.

Fundraising is challenging, time consuming, and exhausting. The amount of time and investment that you put in is not often reflected by the outcome.

So... we have created a simple, low time commitment, and no upfront cost fundraising solution! With our help, this will be the EASIEST and MOST REWARDING fundraiser you will ever do.

Our passion at Hello Donor is to be the answer to your fundraising needs. We want to accelerate your mission by helping you create monthly recurring donations.
