Our mission is to build relationships in pursuit of a better world.
Our CEO Brent Grinna founded EverTrue to bring the technological advances of the for-profit sector to the mission-driven nonprofit world. “I volunteered to help with my reunion fundraising campaign for my college. During that process, I was equipped with spreadsheets filled mostly with out-of-date information, which made it challenging for me to effectively reach out to my classmates and prioritize my efforts. I went on to learn that nonprofits raise $300 billion a year in spite of this inaccurate or inaccessible data.”
We’re here because we’re in the midst of a paradigm shift that is reshaping nearly every industry. Buzzwords like mobile, digital, social, and data barely existed 10 years ago, but the technology landscape has radically evolved and advancement organizations are working hard to keep up.
With great talent, smart strategy, and powerful technology, we can apply those trends to help fund the scholarships, facilities, faculty, and research that have changed millions of lives, including my own. We hope that you’ll join EverTrue and our global customer community on this journey.
