I spent years watching nonprofits burn $10K-$50K/year on peer-to-peer fundraising software that barely moved the needle.

The math never made sense. You'd pay a massive setup fee, get locked into a contract, and then still get hit with per-transaction fees. Meanwhile, your fundraisers were stuck with clunky participant centers from 2012.

Here's what I learned:

The features that actually drive donations aren't complicated. Personal fundraiser pages, team leaderboards, automated coaching emails, and a solid mobile experience. That's 80% of what moves the needle.

The other 20% is execution. How fast can you launch a campaign? How easy is it for a volunteer to share their page? Can a team captain actually manage their group without calling your office?

Enterprise platforms charge you for complexity you don't need while delivering a mediocre experience for the people who matter most — your fundraisers and donors.

That's why I built CrowdSpark. Same features that power 7-figure campaigns, but designed for organizations that can't justify a $15K/year software bill.

If you're running walks, runs, giving days, or any P2P campaign and feel like you're overpaying for underwhelming software — I'd love to chat.
