An online platform bringing donors and donations to

nonprofits.For donors, Charity Blossom is the easiest way to find charities and give

online.

Fund raising is the #1 pain point for all nonprofits

• “We have no time, no budget, and no expertise for online fund raising or marketing,” Ann Sakaguchi, Director of Operation Nightwatch

• Charity Blossom brings $1 billion/year to 1 million Nonprofits from 1 Million Donors

• ...all online

We’re disrupting the $1 trillion/year charitable giving

industry.

The charitable giving industry is ripe for disruption

• Huge Market ($1 trillion/year)

• Antiquated (Events, phone solicitation, USPS mail)

• Inefficient (less than 23% go to program services)

• Fragmented

• Offline (Only 4% of $200B annual donations < $1,000 is done online)
