Ren does the paperwork. Generosity gets the credit.
Behind more than $200 billion in charitable assets sits a company many donors never meet. Ren turns the awkward business of giving into technology, accounting and payments that other institutions can call their own.
Goodstack does the paperwork behind the good deed
Google needs to know which nonprofits qualify. TikTok needs donations to reach them. Goodstack sells the checks, payment rails and software that make both possible.
The Startup Turning Charity Into a Feed You Actually Want to Scroll
Jason Hausske wants giving to feel less like a year-end tax chore and more like a habit you post about. His bet: philanthropy grows when it stops being private.
Austin Community Foundation
Austin Community Foundation has turned one woman’s $30,000 bequest into a $669 million piece of civic infrastructure. Its real product is not charity paperwork - it is making local generosity easier to deploy, harder to waste and patient enough to outlive the donor.
Change
Change is a San Francisco fintech that lets businesses plug charitable giving directly into their products. Its Donations API and compliance dashboard connect companies to more than a million U.S. nonprofits, automating the tedious parts of giving - nonprofit verification, fund disbursement, and the tangle of state fundraising regulations like California's AB 488. Companies such as Lyft, Brex, and Bonfire use Change to run round-ups, sweepstakes, loyalty-point donations, and percentage-of-purchase campaigns without building giving infrastructure themselves.
Chariot
Chariot is a New York fintech building the payment infrastructure for charitable giving. Its flagship product, DAFpay, is the first donation option that lets people give directly from a donor-advised fund in a few clicks, and it now appears on the donation forms of more than 100,000 nonprofits. Chariot also helps charities receive, code, and reconcile grant payments through a single portal, tapping into the roughly $326 billion sitting in donor-advised fund accounts.
