Gudsy is a GPS for Social Good, making it effortless for people and organizations to discover, support, and stay engaged with verified nonprofits.

Gudsy's mission is simple: remove the friction that keeps donors, volunteers, workplaces, and brands from finding and sustaining relationships with verified nonprofits. When discovery, research, and engagement are effortless, people stay involved—and impact compounds.

Across the U.S. and territories, there are about 1.8 million registered nonprofits. Roughly one-third are 501(c)(3) public charities—the community-supported organizations that depend on individual donors, volunteers, and grants. Yet the landscape is noisy and fragmented. Outreach and fundraising often require stitching together narrow point tools; constituents face scattered information and decision fatigue; nonprofits face high attrition and outsized acquisition costs. Too often, worthy causes remain invisible to the very people ready to help.

Gudsy addresses this by unifying the journey in one place:

• Effortless discovery & research via semantic search, geocoding, and SEO that surface the right causes in the right communities for the right constituents.
• Action in one flow—donate, sign up to volunteer, and follow impact updates without hopping tools.
• Ongoing engagement that keeps constituents connected, reducing churn.
• Private, Secure, and Free User Accounts to manage all giving activity.
• A pricing approach that lowers barriers for the smallest nonprofit organizations while meeting the needs of the largest.

What's next: workplace gift matching and cause-marketing partnerships to extend the flywheel between nonprofits, employers, and brands.

Why we started: a single community fundraiser—an entire Saturday of effort that raised just $300—made a hard truth obvious: the problem isn't willingness to give; it's discovery, friction, and follow-through. Gudsy is built to clear that fog so supporters and causes can find each other faster— and stay connected longer.
