Generosity should never feel like red tape. That conviction powered BrightLeaf Consulting for Nonprofits from its consulting roots to a full-service fundraising platform. Now, it’s the inspiration behind our new brand: BrightLeaf Giving. The updated name says what we’ve always believed—that giving should be front-and-center, transparent, and immediately impactful.
Whether you’re covering emergency medical bills, funding a neighborhood garden, or want to set up a scholarship, BrightLeaf Giving combines the speed of modern crowdfunding with the rock-solid compliance of a registered public charity.
What Stays Exactly the Same
Don’t worry about this change affecting your operations. Everything that BrightLeaf Consulting for Nonprofits offered before is still at your disposal with BrightLeaf Giving. For reference, here’s what you get:
- 501(c)(3) custodianship. Every contribution continues to flow through our nonprofit partners before it’s spent for its approved purpose.
- Flat, transparent pricing. Our straightforward 3% management fee remains untouched—no hidden platform surcharges or “tip jars.”
- Hands-on human support. You’ll still have the support of our technical management team to ensure professional and transparent operations.
- No links have changed.
These anchors ensure the rebrand feels like an upgrade, never an upheaval.
Four ways to raise funds under the BrightLeaf Giving banner
1. Education Opportunity Funds (EOFs)
Set up a scholarship without needing to establish a private foundation or sifting through IRS jargon on your own. With an EOF, you define the scholarship criteria both in the US and outside of it. BrightLeaf Giving handles the donation intake, generates instant tax receipts, and releases funds to the recipients of your choosing
2. Community Support Funds (CSFs)
Some needs don’t end after 30 days. A CSF lets you raise funds for an ongoing project without opening a standalone nonprofit. Donors can give by credit card, ACH, wire transfer, PayPal, Zelle, or even a grant from their donor-advised fund.
3. Social Impact Campaigns (SICs)
When urgency is part of the story—disaster relief, matching-gift challenges, classroom wish-lists—a Social Impact Campaign delivers structure and momentum. It’s basically Crowdfunding but better since it comes with tax benefits for donors!
4. Donation Programs (DPs)
Sometimes a single “Donate” button isn’t enough. Donation Programs give you a standalone, multi-page website—complete with storytelling sections and image galleries. All donation streams route through our nonprofit partner for tax deductions, as well.
