Who we are
Too many changemakers operate in constant survival mode, hindered by unstable funding and a lack of clear direction. At FundRaiz LLC, we’re here to shift that reality. We believe meaningful, lasting impact happens when organizations have the right strategy, support, and resources.
We help changemakers move from operational struggle to becoming strong, mission-driven organizations with solid financial foundations. We also work with philanthropists who want their contributions to create real, lasting change, and with diaspora members aiming to make a difference in their home countries.
Our approach is personal and collaborative. We build genuine partnerships based on empathy, trust, and shared purpose, focused on long-term success, not quick fixes. As a social enterprise, FundRaiz brings together business-minded efficiency with a deep commitment to social impact. Our mission is to drive positive change through innovative, tailored support that continues to make a difference even after our direct involvement ends.
