About WiDonate

WiDonate is a digital-first fundraising platform purpose-built for non-profit organizations to grow and engage their donor base with innovative and exciting digital fundraising campaigns.

WiDonate was founded in early 2025 out of a MBA school project where co-founder Michael Flowers had to identify a real-world problem and build a solution to solve it. Michael, who served on the board of two separate non-profit boards, noticed an opportunity to support their fundraising strategy through easy-to-implement digital campaigns.
