Our take
As global events like the Climate Crisis, COVID-19, and the war in Ukraine have shown, aligning brands with purpose is more important now than ever. However, the processes of integrating purpose-driven initiatives into businesses have traditionally been manual, archaic, and inefficient.
Goodstack's API-first platform simplifies this process by enabling companies to seamlessly integrate giving and purpose into their operations. The technology connects businesses with over 8.6M non-profits across 185 countries, eliminating the complexities of charitable giving.
From enabling donations at the end of streaming documentaries to supporting in-kind donations and powering giving on social media platforms, Goodstack's mission is to embed purpose in every company. With its innovative technology, impressive funding and growing global presence, Goodstack's forward-thinking approach positions it for a future of bright success.
