What Donors Want

Startups to Watch — SmartChange / GoodChange

"Becky Pittman and Emily Wineland began their careers in the nonprofit sector, where they shared the same professional challenge — raising money for their respective causes. The duo joined forces in 2022 and began building GoodChange to provide an easier way for political campaigns to raise money. The app debuted in 2023. They followed that up with SmartChange in 2024, an app targeting nonprofits in arenas other than politics."‍
