Direct partnership with Benevity and Donor Advised Funds guarantees transparent non-profit disbursement.
Micro-donations improve customer brand affinity while increasing checkout conversion rates.
Founder story
Founded by Robert Soderstrom, ChangeUp began as a mobile app that allowed consumers to link credit cards to round up spare change for charity. During the early pandemic, e-commerce merchants requested the software as a donate-at-checkout tool for relief efforts. Scrambling to adapt, the team pivoted to enterprise SaaS, building an API-first platform that connects major brands and banks to charitable giving.
