We care that you care

Funraise is a collection of nonprofit people who've decided to use our skills to promote charitable endeavors everywhere. We are the world, we are the children, and we're passionate about helping nonprofits achieve their goals.

Made with love from Long Beach, CA

We're a bunch of chill SoCal folks who love dogs, beaches, and coffee... with a side order of world change. Always on the lookout for people just like you who want to be a part of something big and wonderful.

Team Funraise

We come from different backgrounds, but are united in our love for nonprofits and pizza.
