Nonprofits Raise Record $440 Million with OneCause in 2018

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OneCause, a leader in mobile fundraising, announced nonprofits raised $440 million on its fundraising platform in 2018, an increase of 47 percent over the prior year. This past year, OneCause celebrated ten years in nonprofit fundraising reaching a milestone of $1.5 billion proceeds raised on its platform since inception.

"2018 was a tremendous year of growth for our nonprofit customers and OneCause," said Steve Johns, chief executive officer of OneCause. "With our rebrand to OneCause (formerly BidPal), expansion into peer-to-peer fundraising, and additional investment to accelerate product innovation, we continue to grow our integrated fundraising platform to help even more nonprofits raise funds for their causes."

Key milestones in 2018 include:

    --  Announcement of the new OneCause brand, cementing the progression from
        BidPal, a single-point solution centered around nonprofit events, to a
        year-round fundraising solution.
    --  Subscribers grew 36 percent in 2018 signaling a significant shift to a
        SaaS business model as more nonprofits continue to take advantage of
        OneCause's full fundraising suite.
    --  Total fundraisers powered by OneCause rose 37 percent to more than 5,200
        campaigns contributing to the $440 million raised by nonprofits.
    --  OneCause secured $4 million in new growth financing to aggressively
        accelerate development of its fully integrated fundraising platform and
        strategic growth into social fundraising with the acquisition of
        Austin-based peer-to-peer fundraising platform, Great Feats.
    --  The forward-thinking OneCause Social Donor Study for the first time
        explored the unique motivators, giving behaviors, and engagement
        preferences of an emerging category of Social Donors, those who give
        through event-based and peer-to-peer fundraising.

"Today, nonprofits must compete for the attention of constantly connected donors and also deliver streamlined giving experiences to meet the sophisticated expectations of "one-click to purchase" consumers," said Johns. "Our mission is to help build a better tomorrow by delivering the very best value in nonprofit fundraising software to meet the needs of future donors and fundraisers."
