💡 Featured Social Impact Startup: Momentum

Momentum is a psychology-based donation ecosystem for the internet age: one that makes giving more transparent and sustainable for nonprofits and donors. Its custom pages increase recurring giving to nonprofits using Momentum’s creative Giving Rules. It also offers Single-Sign On donation processing and a portal for donors to manage their giving.

Founded by Nick Fitz and Ari Kagan in 2018, Momentum’s mission is to help more nonprofits raise more money to reduce suffering and improve lives. Some of Momentum’s products include MomentumHub, a donor portal that lets charities understand the impact of their giving, and MomentumPay, which provides secure, frictionless payment. Momentum’s donation pages also allow charities to make their pages beautifully branded and mobile responsive, which includes colors, fonts, images, and custom content.

Momentum’s products aim to increase donor engagement, stewardship, and engagement. Donors can get more updates from the charity and make new donations. Meanwhile, charities can utilize donor analytics to visualize donor behavior and track trends to better understand key insights.
