At Fanthem

After many years working at nonprofits, we know first-hand the struggles that come along with fundraising: the constant search for new donors, new ideas, engaging current donors and starting from scratch each year. Bottom line, fundraising is challenging and fighting for attention is difficult. In those experiences, we saw an opportunity for a better path forward.

The digital age has made it easier than ever to connect people in unimaginable ways. Technology has made it easier than ever for us to engage on social media, text and email, making the world more connected.

However, many nonprofits are struggling to meet the demands of today’s digital world, leaving many fighting for resources and struggling to connect people to their causes. Fundraising for many is a zero-sum game, fighting each other for funding and awareness, but we believe that can change.

What if, instead of competing against each other, we worked together to bring about change? What if we used the collective resources of communities working together? At our core, we believe community is the bedrock of scalable work, and we want to make it easy for those communities to connect and fundraise together.

It is important, now more than ever, that we rally together and embrace a model of shared resources in an effort to enhance impact. We live in a fantastic time when technology can create exponential good, but only if we come together and use our collective resources can we spark transformational change.
