Who are we?
Good Ask is a a marketplace designed to revolutionize philanthropy by empowering nonprofits to raise funds on a large scale through the power of networks.
In the US, there are over 1.8 million nonprofits, and worldwide, over 10 million. Nearly all these organizations require assistance raising “unrestricted funds,” which are donations made without specific donor restrictions. Without unrestricted funds, nonprofits don’t have the flexibility to allocate resources where they are most needed and struggle to scale their impact.
Good Ask tackles this issue by creating Giving Challenges, which are branded fundraising campaigns utilizing gamification and rewards and leveraging networks to engage new and existing donors.
