We’re brimming with excitement to announce a significant milestone in our journey — Gocrowdera PBC (originally incorporated as Crowdera Inc) is transforming into Raisefree PBC! But fear not, this isn’t a goodbye; it’s a hello to a future even more focused on empowering you to raise money freely.

A Legacy of Free Fundraising

Since 2014, Gocrowdera has proudly served as a haven for passionate individuals and organizations seeking a platform for their fundraising endeavors. Founded by a visionary team — Silicon Valley entrepreneur Chet Jainn, Chai Atreya, Rich Matsuura, and Stephanie Jelley — our mission has always been crystal clear: to dismantle the financial barriers often associated with crowdfunding. We envisioned a platform where fundraisers and contributors alike could support worthy causes without the burden of platform fees. This vision materialized as a bespoke system built on the principles of no-donor-dipping and no-agony selling. Raisefree (our new name) embodies this legacy perfectly, reflecting the genuine joy and fulfillment that comes from supporting good works.

Raisefree: A New Name, The Same Commitment

While the name on the door is changing, our core values remain unshakeable. Raisefree (raisefree.com) will continue to champion the pillars that have been the bedrock of your fundraising success:

  • Unwavering Commitment to Free Fundraising: We firmly believe that financial limitations shouldn’t hinder your ability to raise money for what matters. Raisefree remains a completely free platform, allowing you to retain every dollar you raise.
  • Seamless Transition: We understand the importance of a smooth transition. Your existing campaigns, tools, and features will be seamlessly available on Raisefree, ensuring a familiar and effortless fundraising experience.
  • Undisrupted Access: We value the campaigns you’ve meticulously built. Rest assured, all your existing campaigns and links on https://www.gocrowdera.com will continue to function flawlessly.

The Future of Free Fundraising is Bright

Chet Jainn, Founder and Chairman of Raisefree, perfectly captures the team’s enthusiasm: “Our entire team is ecstatic to finally be recognized for what we truly are. Raisefree embodies our vision — a world where individuals and organizations can raise money freely for the causes they cherish. This new era fosters exciting partnerships that will revolutionize the way we care for each other and contribute to a better world. The possibilities for collective impact are truly awe-inspiring.”
