These top social impact organizations have leveraged Classy’s fundraising and community mobilization tools to raise tens of millions of dollars to solve some of the world’s most pressing social problems. 

Classy CEO and Co-Founder, Scot Chisholm, stated:

Scot Chisholm“Each year on #GivingTuesday tens of thousands of people search, discover and support social impact organizations on the Classy platform that are fighting for the causes that they believe in. As evidenced by the tremendous year-over-year growth that we’ve seen, #GivingTuesday is only picking up momentum around the world, providing a tremendous opportunity for organizations to introduce their mission to new people in creative ways.

 

“However, social impact organizations on average lose 60% of their donors each year, making it even more critical that they have the right tools and technologies in place to maintain and strengthen these new #GivingTuesday relationships over time. The Classy 100 represents a group of organizations who have been able to utilize modern tools to foster great relationships with their community, allowing them to keep people engaged, raise more funding and scale their impact.”
