“I think I was surprised by the virtual event; it was easy. The surprising thing for me was there were some people who started their team member page way in advance, right when we launched it. Then there were some people who the day of or the day before or the week of just created one and invited a bunch of people and they showed up and/or got gifts. I think the ease of that—because if you're in person, you have to have a headcount and a food count and all of that in advance—the ease of just being able to do it so last minute or within hours of the event. It didn't hinder anything. It actually was just more exciting.”

"At Givebutter, we love the way that the donor’s in the driver's seat. They get to pick the tips. They get to pick whether or not they cover any of the fees. Do they want to be monthly? Do they want to do something specific they get to plan? They get to control it."

“I think it was in the New York Times relatively recently, on how philanthropy is often set out to just mitigate inequality. However, it shows that race remains to be a defining factor when looking at which organizations get funded and how much they receive. I think that statement alone really just causes a call to action to funders and to grantors, to really look inwards, to see - are we acknowledging even our input bias, for instance? And what does that look like?”
