about us
Your Fundraising Team
You can rest assured…we’re in this together.
Who We Are
As a proud, minority-founded company, we are also a passionate team of do-gooders who are truly thankful to play a significant role in supporting the amazing work being done by our nonprofit clients today. Each and every day, we take our inspiration from our clients and the impact they make in their communities and around the world.
Motivated by this and a strong desire to build a better suite of cloud-based, software products than what is currently serving the market, the team at Humanitru formed and was off to the races.
With our years of experience working with and for nonprofits of all sizes, we remain dedicated to finding new solutions and providing top notch, human support to the “helpers” amongst us. At Humanitru, we help the helpers.
