Why we built this?
There are over 600K nonprofits across US, who depend on government grants as well as support from their community. However, the prevailing ecosystem makes it hard for supporters to easily find and support these organizations.
We built Gudsy to seamlessly connect your intent to give back with the nonprofits already doing that work in your community and beyond.
How it works
Together, supporters like you can help each nonprofit build an initial grant of up to $600 in Gudsy credits for the new year.
