Our mission

“FundMiner was born out of the desperation to do a good job.”

“I've been in your shoes and faced socially conscious fund management challenges. I worked in the university system overseeing Advancement Operations for five years. There was so much information, so many processes, multiple unintegrated systems, and tons of people involved. Compiling and communicating information on all of our funds with all of our deans, department chairs, program directors, the office of scholarships, and leadership was harder than it needed to be. Often, by the time I finished manually creating and sending reports, the data needed to be updated. I wanted to operate differently and knew we needed the power of modern technology to do it.”

“FundMiner is on a mission to transform gift administration and help fundraising organizations more effectively measure, maximize, and communicate their impact.”

What we’re about

EFFICIENCY

We use technology and automation to reduce the burden of slow and time-consuming processes because we believe people and time are precious resources.

VISIBILITY

We demystify Advancement Operations and integrate disparate systems for fundraising organizations by promoting organization-wide visibility and sharing impact data with donors.

ACCOUNTABILITY & DONOR INTENT

We believe donor resources must be put to work, not stored away, collecting dust. Institutions must maximize the use of their resources and, therefore, their impact. We develop practical features that improve donor relationships and support.

MISSION SUCCESS & COMMUNITY IMPACT

We believe in helping organizations achieve sustainable and long-term progress through effective social and economic reporting tools and insights into fundraising organizations' impact.
