Enthuse is a London, United Kingdom-based software company that provides digital donation, fundraising, and event registration technology specifically designed for charities and non-profit organizations. The enterprise platform enables these institutions to process payment transactions, manage online fundraising campaigns, handle event ticketing, and automatically collect Gift Aid. Organizations utilize the system to maintain customized donor experiences directly under their own branded web domains. Operating with a workforce of 99 employees, the privately held company generates a reported $11.3 million in annual revenue and has raised less than $5 million in total funding. The software currently serves a user base of more than 4,000 charitable organizations across the sector, including notable enterprise clients such as Macmillan Cancer Support, WWF, the NSPCC, and London Marathon Events. Enthuse was originally founded in 2009 by chief executive officer Chester Mojay-Sinclare.
Enthuse refers to multiple entities, but the most prominent tech-focused company is the UK-based Enthuse (enthuse.com), a SaaS platform providing branded digital fundraising, donation, and event registration technology for charities.[2][3] It builds tools like fully branded fundraising pages, integrated with major UK events (e.g., London Marathon, Great Run), mobile-ready donation forms, virtual events, Strava integration, and automated page creation to give charities full control over supporter data and relationships.[2][4] Serving nonprofits and good causes, it solves the problem of generic, third-party branded fundraising platforms that prioritize intermediaries over charities, enabling stronger donor loyalty, higher funds raised (e.g., 100% page creation rates), and financial predictability.[2][3][4] Originally formed by rebranding CharityCheckout and Primo Events, it shows strong growth as one of the UK's 50 fastest-growing startups, with awards like Charity Today's Partnership of the Year.[4][7]
Other entities include Enthuse Marketing (enthuse-marketing.com), a US women-owned agency specializing in education-led marketing for food, beverage, and hospitality brands, founded in 2016 with 400+ employees across 44 states and WBENC-certified rapid growth.[1][6] There's also the Enthuse Foundation, its nonprofit arm supporting women entrepreneurs via community, education, capital, and a marketplace.[5][6]
The core Enthuse tech company was founded by Chester Mojay-Sinclare, who developed a passion for fundraising in 2008 through street fundraising, emphasizing personalized supporter connections.[3] Frustrated by transactional online platforms that sidelined charities' branding, he launched Enthuse to prioritize charities, evolving from core donation tech to a full suite including event integration and virtual tools via the 202X rebrand of CharityCheckout and Primo Events.[3][4] Key milestones include Forbes 30 under 30 Social Entrepreneurs recognition (2018), rapid product expansions like Strava/live streaming integration, and growth accolades.[3][4][7]
Enthuse Marketing originated in 2016 from a leader in experiential marketing/business operations and a seasoned elementary educator, blending teaching philosophy with brand education to foster trust-based growth in hospitality.[1][6] It spawned the Enthuse Foundation to address women entrepreneurs' isolation via mentorship and grants.[5][6]
Enthuse (fundraising) rides the wave of digital transformation in nonprofits, where post-pandemic virtual/hybrid events and data privacy demands (e.g., GDPR) favor owned platforms over commoditized ones.[4] Timing aligns with rising online giving—UK charity digital fundraising surged amid events like London Marathon—enabling scalability for global beneficiaries.[2][3] Market forces like supporter fatigue from generic sites and need for personalization boost its edge, influencing the ecosystem by setting standards for ethical tech (no logo-bombing) and integrations that cut abandonment, helping charities like Dig Deep win awards.[4][7] It champions fundraisers' resilience, fostering a brighter sector amid economic challenges.[4]
Enthuse Marketing taps experiential marketing in hospitality recovery, using education to differentiate amid crowded CPG spaces, while its Foundation advances women-led tech/consumer brands.[1][6]
Enthuse (fundraising tech) is poised for expansion into more global events and AI-driven personalization, capitalizing on virtual/hybrid trends and data sovereignty to dominate ethical fintech for good causes.[4][7] Regulatory pushes for transparency and growing £10B+ UK charity digital market will amplify its lead, potentially evolving into a full CRM powerhouse influencing how nonprofits own the donor journey.[2][3] Watch for US/EU scaling and deeper analytics.
Enthuse Marketing will likely deepen hospitality AI integrations and Foundation grants, solidifying women-led impact.[1][6] Both exemplify purpose-driven tech teaching stakeholders to "love the brand" or cause, tying back to their teacher-founders' trust-building origins for sustained growth.
