Better amplifies fundraising, philanthropy, and volunteerism using our powerful online, print, and events platforms — and have been doing so since our launch on May 1, 2007. We’ve always prioritized harnessing the internet’s power for good to help our affluent, educated, philanthropic audience help others. We’ve worked with thousands of nonprofits since then, too.
Over the course of this extraordinary history, we’ve developed unparalleled expertise and fine-tuned a powerful platform that can benefit every nonprofit, philanthropist, fundraiser, donor, volunteer, and social entrepreneur.
In short, we make it easier for you to help others!
Nonprofits who collaborate with Better raise more money, awareness, and other support too. But don’t take our word for it — hear what they have to say.
