For community foundations who want more

You run a giving day once a year.
What if you didn't have to stop?

MiniCause is a giving day platform and a year-round fundraising engine for your entire community. Modern technology, simple pricing, and (we cannot stress this enough) it works on all 365 days.1

1 366 in a leap year. We don't charge extra.

The uncomfortable truth

Your giving day platform was built when people still used BlackBerrys.

Most giving day platforms haven't meaningfully changed since 2014. They'll still happily charge you $50,000 a year for the privilege of running one event on them, though. That part has kept up with inflation nicely.

📅

The one-day wonder

You pay year-round for a platform you use once. Your donors want to give in March. Your platform wakes up in November. There's a mismatch here, and it isn't subtle.

🏋️

The heavy lifting falls on you

Your platform gives you leaderboards. Wonderful. Meanwhile, 200 of your nonprofits are staring at a blank campaign page wondering what to write. Guess who they call?

💸

The math doesn't math

License fees. Processing fees. Platform fees. "Optional" donor tips that aren't really optional. By the time the money reaches your nonprofits, everyone's taken a bite.

We're not naming names. You already know who we're talking about. And honestly, they did important work getting giving days started. But "we were first" is not the same as "we're still best."

What you actually get

A giving day platform that also does everything else

Most platforms make you choose: giving day tool or fundraising platform. We thought that was a bit like choosing between your left leg and your right. Why not both?

AI that actually helps (not just a buzzword on our website)

The biggest challenge in any giving day isn't the technology. It's getting hundreds of nonprofits ready to participate. Our AI tools help every organization create compelling campaign pages, write donor communications, and plan their outreach. The small animal shelter with two staff members gets the same quality campaign as the hospital with a twenty-person development office. That's the whole point.

A giving day should be the spark,
not the whole fire.

Your community's generosity doesn't have an on/off switch. Why should your platform?

The humans behind this

We've been doing this
for a surprisingly long time

MiniCause is built by Hubbub, a fundraising technology company that's spent over a decade building giving day platforms, crowdfunding tools, and digital fundraising infrastructure for universities, nonprofits, and foundations around the world. We're not figuring this out as we go. We figured it out years ago and now we're bringing it to US community foundations.
