How The Civic Exchange Works
From joining the ecosystem to building your donor base — here's how your organization creates a Portfolio of Change on the Civic Exchange.
Apply & Get Listed
Submit your nonprofit to join the civic health ecosystem. Once approved, your organization gets a dedicated portfolio page on the platform.
Build Your Campaign
Set your fundraising goal, tell your story, and launch your campaign page in minutes. Your cause goes live in front of a civically-engaged donor base.
Recruit Ambassadors
Invite board members, staff, and supporters to become peer fundraisers for your campaign. Every ambassador multiplies your reach beyond your existing network.
Activate Your Network
Share your campaign via email, social, and text. Tap into the broader Civic Exchange community — donors already committed to supporting the civic health ecosystem.
Drive Collective Impact
Donations roll in real-time with automatic donor receipts. Every dollar given to the Civic Exchange fund matches active campaigns — your goal gets amplified across the entire ecosystem.
No fundraising experience required.
Our team supports your onboarding from application to your first campaign launch.
