OneCause, a leading provider of digital fundraising solutions, is once again opening doors for nonprofit organizations to amplify their impact through its 2025 Onecause Cares Corporate Grants Program. Now in its fourth year, this initiative is designed to equip nonprofits with cutting-edge technology, empowering them to achieve their missions more effectively through innovative fundraising strategies.
Fueling Nonprofit Missions with Technology Grants
Recognizing the transformative power of technology in today’s fundraising landscape, the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program will award two deserving nonprofit organizations with a 24-month subscription to the comprehensive OneCause Fundraising Platform. Each grant, valued at up to $10,000, not only provides access to this powerful platform but also unlocks a wealth of resources. Grantees will benefit from OneCause’s award-winning support community, including responsive live assistance, customized on-demand training modules, and expert consulting for events and campaigns. This holistic support system ensures that nonprofits can fully leverage the potential of their new fundraising tools and maximize their fundraising success.
Mehwish Abid, Director of Development at Easter Seals of New Jersey, a previous grantee, attests to the program’s impact: “The OneCause Fundraising and Text2Give platforms have been a game changer for us. It helps us send out timely alerts and reminders about our fundraising campaigns and events, making it so much easier to connect with our supporters. This tool has really boosted our communication and helped us rally even more community support for our mission. We’re truly thankful for this software and everything it allows us to do for those we serve.” This testimonial underscores the real-world difference the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program makes for nonprofits striving to enhance their outreach and fundraising capabilities.
A Proven Track Record of Nonprofit Success
Since its inception, the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program has demonstrably fueled nonprofit success. Grantees have collectively raised over $1.7 million using the OneCause software, a testament to the program’s effectiveness and the power of the technology it provides. The 2024 grantees, Easter Seals of New Jersey and Crittenton Services, are already making significant strides, having raised more than $781,000 combined. Their ongoing utilization of OneCause solutions highlights the sustainable impact of the grants, enabling these organizations to continuously expand their reach and deepen engagement with their supporter base.
Steve Johns, CEO of OneCause, emphasizes the company’s core mission: “At OneCause, we believe all nonprofits should have access to innovative, reliable technology with the ongoing support they need to reach more donors and raise more for their missions. Through our grants program, we’re committed to ensuring that more organizations, no matter their size, have access to the best fundraising tools without the worry of unexpected fees or compromises in quality. By empowering nonprofits with innovative, accessible solutions, we help them focus on what matters most – making a greater impact.” This commitment to accessibility and impact is central to the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program.
Expanding Horizons: Beyond Technology with the Raise Conference
The OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program extends its support beyond technology alone. Recipients also gain discounted access to the annual Raise Conference, a premier event for nonprofit professionals. This invaluable opportunity allows grantees to connect with peers, learn fundraising best practices, and stay ahead of the curve on emerging trends in the nonprofit sector. This comprehensive approach fosters a strong community among nonprofit professionals, supporting their growth and impact far beyond the provision of technology.
Chrissy Kincheloe, Director of Philanthropic Partnerships & Public Relations at Crittenton of NC, a past grantee, highlights the dual benefit: “The OneCause grants program not only equipped us with the technology to execute impactful fundraising campaigns but also provided invaluable insights through their conference. We walked away with innovative ideas to boost our efforts, and the confidence to continue the strategies that have proven successful for peer organizations.” This quote underscores the holistic value proposition of the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program, encompassing both technological empowerment and professional development.
