The GiveGab Team

is on a mission to make it incredibly easy for fundraisers to be great at their jobs!

Our Story

After reading a compelling statistic on happiness in 2011, CEO Charlie Mulligan was inspired to transform the way people engage in philanthropy. He discovered that those who gave back to charitable organizations were happier, but the means to connect with them were limited, leaving fundraising professionals overwhelmed and under-resourced.

This was the foundation for what is now the #1 digital solution for connecting people with the causes they care about through Giving Days and year-round fundraising.

Why the name GiveGab? Our name gives a straightforward explanation of our platform! GiveGab is a place to Give and to share or Gab about philanthropy. Whether it's through Giving Days or year-round fundraising, Giving and Gabbing is what we're all about!

Our Mission and Values

Our mission is to make it incredibly easy for you to be great fundraisers.

We want our partners to love working with us, our employees to love working for us, and our communities to love that we’re a part of their communities.

Value # 1: Customer Love is what drives us

Our awesome giving day partners from the giving day leaders forum. The people in this photo helped 25k nonprofits raise over $200M in just the last 12 months!

GiveGab isn’t a tech company - we’re a people company. We focus on goals and benefits, not just features. We listen to your wishes and hopes, not just a list of tasks. And we give out free food and drinks at our leaders forum because the engineers who programmed us told us humans like food and drink.

Value # 2: Team Culture is our Foundation

This is our company. We’re great at fundraising, we love hanging out together, and we’re not so good at karaoke. It’s hard to believe our quirky team has helped raise more than $1.5 Billion for great causes around the world.

If we don’t love working with each other, you won’t love working with us. It’s our job to make sure we listen to each other, learn from each other, support each other, and aggressively attack and mock each other during a game of capture the flag. I don’t want to keep harping on this, but the top of the hill, deep in the woods, and in a swamp is definitely not a legal location to hide your flag.

Value # 3: We Walk the Walk

Here are Laurel and Verdie walking the walk. Even though they are sitting.

When GiveGab first started doing giving days, no one would switch to us. We were like the kid no one picked at recess! So we decided to start running giving days ourselves. We learned first hand that tech is just a small part of what makes these large giving events great. We continue to run giving days, giving events, peer-to-peer fundraisers, etc. It’s not just that we have a deep understanding of how to run these giving events; we also know how it feels to run these giving events. It’s challenging and constantly changing and full of surprises, including being surprisingly fun. In the end, large giving events like giving days turn out to be one of the most satisfying and rewarding things you will do in your entire career.

We think these three values are what makes us tick, and why you’ll love working with us.
