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.
Why join us?

Since starting in April of 2019, we have won or placed in multiple pitch competitions acquiring more than $300k in awards. We have also raised over $1M in total investment to date and are a Techstars portfolio company.
