Our take
Classy provides a way for nonprofits to connect with the people who support their causes, amplifying their fundraising efforts. Its robust platform boasts event-planning tools, customizable donation forms, and branded peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, among other features.
The idea behind Classy is to blend high-performance, user-friendly tools with personalized experiences, fostering a deeper connection between donors and the causes they champion. This approach, according to the company, "unleashes generosity", enabling nonprofits to allocate more resources to their missions.
With a vast network of nonprofit partners and over $30B raised through its platform, Classy has emerged as a formidable player in the field. Its acquisition by GoFundMe in 2022 signifies a strategic move towards creating a unified "giving platform", poised to advance the collective mission of both entities in driving social good.
