We've spent 40 years in fundraising. Then we became parents. And we realized everything was broken.
Rally4One was built by people who've seen fundraising from every angle—and decided there had to be a better way.
"The first time my daughter came home with a catalog of wrapping paper to sell, I thought: there has to be a better way. I've spent my whole career in this industry. Why is this still how we do it?"
We know fundraising.
From the inside.
Between us, we've spent more than 40 years in the fundraising business. We've built campaigns, managed donor databases, consulted for nonprofits, and helped organizations raise millions of dollars. We know what works. We know what doesn't. And we know exactly how much time, money, and energy traditional fundraising wastes.
But here's the thing: knowing the business didn't prepare us for living it as parents.
We sat in the parking lots after practice, watched coaches organize car washes on their weekends, and volunteered at silent auctions that took three months to plan and raised less than expected. We saw band directors burning out before concert season. We watched youth pastors cancel mission trips because the fundraising math didn't work.
And we kept asking ourselves: why are the people doing the most important work in our communities spending so much time on fundraising logistics instead of the work that actually matters?
Traditional fundraising is built for a world that doesn't exist anymore.
Product sales made sense when communities were smaller and everyone had time. Galas made sense when donor cultivation happened at country clubs. Door-to-door campaigns made sense when people answered their doors.
But that world is gone. Parents are busier. Volunteers are harder to find. And the people running teams, programs, and organizations are stretched thinner than ever.
The fundraising model didn't evolve. So we built one that did.
Rally4One is the fundraiser we wish existed when our kids were selling cookie dough.
We designed Rally4One around three principles we learned from 40 years in the industry—and from watching our own families struggle with the old model:
Time Is Sacred
The people running youth programs, teams, and organizations are already overcommitted. Fundraising should take days, not months. That's why our campaigns run for 14 days—period. No six-month slogs. No "ongoing initiatives." A focused sprint that respects everyone's time.
Risk Should Be Zero
Organizations shouldn't have to spend money to raise money. No upfront costs. No inventory to buy. No event deposits. You raise first, we get paid from the success. If you raise nothing, you owe nothing.
Simplicity Wins
If it takes a training manual, it's too complicated. We build your campaign page. We write your share messages. We coach your rollout. Your job is to forward a link. That's it.
What 40+ years of experience has helped us build.
Every dollar raised represents a team that got new uniforms, a band that made it to competition, a youth group that completed their mission trip, a nonprofit that expanded their impact. That's what 40 years of experience is for.
We're not just a platform.
We're partners who've been where
you are.
We've sat in the booster meetings. We've done the volunteer math. We've watched talented coaches and dedicated teachers burn out on logistics instead of doing what they love.
Rally4One exists because we believe the people doing important work deserve fundraising that actually works—fast, simple, and without the burnout.
Your cause is worth rallying for. Let's make sure the fundraising doesn't get in the way.
