Civic Champs
Civic Champs helps nonprofits manage volunteering, mentoring, and donations. We help them get back to what matters most so they can leave paper in the past. Using a mobile-first approach we help nonprofits and their volunteers record the data that is needed for large benefactors to see how they are making a difference. Also, we make it so they can tell their stories easily and in realtime.
Civic champs reached its first year's sales goals for clients in only 5 months.
Since starting in April of 2019 we have won 3 pitch competitions and finished as a semifinalist in 2 others, winning over $100k in additional funding. We are still in the running for 2 more worth $260 in total additional funding. We have also raised $500k in total investment to date.
After having our initial product released for only 1.5 months we became a semifinalist for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield and competed in San Francisco in October.
Our team is mostly an agile approach to development. We use Jira to create the stories and bugs we need to get accomplished and plan sprints that are typically 2 weeks in length. Our team is both local to Bloomington, IN and remote.
We are a SAAS mobile location service that is preparing to scale.

Fun, passionate, and caring. We really want to make a difference for nonprofits but we want to make sure we enjoy the journey on our way to getting there.
We are a startup so hours are when they need to get done. It is good to have people with shared hours when they need to communicate but we are not strictly 9-5.
We believe you should be where it is best to get done what needs doing. Also, many of our employees do work remotely.
One of our offices is in Bloomington, IN in the historic Showers Mill building.
