What is Mightycause?

An overview of the Mightycause platform, the work we do, and services we provide.

Mightycause is an online fundraising platform used by nonprofit organizations and individuals to raise money for charitable causes.

Mightycause empowers ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things by providing an easy-to-use platform where users can create fundraising pages to collect donations from their friends, families, and communities.

Mightycause was founded in 2006 (formerly known as Razoo) to help underfunded nonprofits and people in need lift themselves up, and lift each other up, with the power of crowdfunding. Since then we have grown into an industry leader that serves thousands of nonprofit organizations across the United States, hosts multi-million dollar, community-led Giving Events, empowers everyday people to raise money for their favorite charitable causes, and build grassroots support with easy social sharing options. We have raised over $600 million on Mightycause since our inception, and that number is growing each day.

Mightycause offers a donation widget that can be embedded on websites and blogs to collect donations. Nonprofits can also creating fundraisers for specific campaigns or programs and organize peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns.

This allows Mightycause to issue tax receipts and annual giving statements to donors, easing administrative burdens.
