Everfund was a Lincoln, England-based software company that developed a donation processing platform allowing charities to create, share, and track custom donation portals across various digital and print mediums. The platform facilitated charitable contributions across three screens in approximately 30 seconds, operating at a cost up to six times lower than competing services like JustGiving. During its operational period, the enterprise trialed its SaaS product with regional nonprofit organizations, including St. Barnabas and Betel for Britain, before targeting broader national and international markets. In February 2021, the firm secured an undisclosed investment from GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner to support scaling initiatives ahead of a planned pre-seed funding round. The company ultimately ceased its commercial operations and was officially dissolved in June 2025. Everfund was founded in 2017 by Christopher Burns and Will De'Ath.

Everfund is a technology startup that builds developer-centric tools to simplify fundraising and donation experiences for modern non-profits.[1][3][4] It enables quick integration of modern web-based donation systems into any website, helping non-profits overcome data and organizational challenges while focusing on their causes rather than tech limitations.[1][4] The platform serves developers and non-profits by offering embeddable donation experiences for over 1.5 million causes, with early traction including over 30 prospects generated in three months for one client and positive reviews on Product Hunt (5.0 rating from 3 reviews).[1][4]
Note: Search results distinguish this tech startup from Everfund Commercial, a separate 15-year-old business lending firm focused on small business loans and commercial property financing, which is not a technology company.[2]
Everfund emerged as a startup addressing the digitization needs of non-profits, building an ecosystem of tools for developers to create advanced fundraising systems.[3] The idea stems from simplifying outdated donation processes, allowing seamless integration with modern web development stacks to help non-profits adapt to digital fundraising.[4] Early traction includes a case study where the platform delivered over 30 prospects in three months for a tech startup client, highlighting its immediate value in streamlining data challenges.[1] It has gained visibility on platforms like Product Hunt and Startup Estonia's ecosystem, with 251 followers and strong developer-focused reviews.[3][4]
Everfund rides the wave of non-profit digitization, where organizations increasingly need agile, web-native fundraising tools amid rising online donations and donor expectations for seamless experiences.[3][4] Timing aligns with post-pandemic shifts to digital philanthropy, amplified by developer tools ecosystems like those in Estonia's startup scene.[3] Market forces favoring it include the explosion of no-code/low-code integrations and API-driven platforms, reducing barriers for non-profits competing with for-profits in donor tech.[1][4] It influences the ecosystem by empowering developers to build scalable fundraising solutions, potentially accelerating adoption of modern web tech in the $500B+ global nonprofit sector.
Everfund is poised to expand as donation platforms evolve toward headless, API-first models, integrating with rising trends like crypto donations, AI-personalized giving, and global embeddables.[4] Next steps likely include scaling its 1.5M+ cause database, deeper partnerships with web frameworks, and enterprise features for large non-profits. Its developer focus could amplify influence, fostering a vibrant ecosystem that redefines nonprofit tech—turning fundraising friction into a competitive edge for digital-first causes.
