About Us

We are a team of developers, creatives and entrepreneurs from all over the world. Together, we want to make it easy for anyone to raise funds for the things they care about.

Our Story

GoRaise was founded in 2015 with one simple goal; Make fundraising quick, easy, and accessible.

Our co-founders, Gary and Ellen, wanted to create a platform for fundraising which allowed anyone shopping online to support a cause that they care about.

Since then the number of causes using GoRaise has climbed to an enormous 80,000+ and we now have over 3,000 retailers offering to make charitable donations on behalf of their customers.

Over £500m is available in donations every year from our partner retailers. We're trying hard to get this into the hands of the amazing causes we work with.
