What Tiltify does

Tiltify is a cloud-based livestream fundraising platform that enables content creators, streamers, and individuals to raise funds for charitable causes in real time during broadcasts. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in West Hollywood, the company operates a two-sided marketplace linking verified charities and nonprofit organizations (including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, UNICEF USA, Make-A-Wish, and the International Rescue Committee) with creators on Twitch, YouTube, and other streaming platforms. The platform is anchored by native integrations with Twitch and Stripe, supporting peer-to-peer campaigns, team-based fundraising with leaderboards, donation milestones, polls, matching gifts, reward incentives, and real-time donation alerts triggered during livestreams. Flagship annual events such as Thankmas, Jingle Jam, Build Against Cancer, and St. Jude Play Live have driven individual campaigns raising between $1M and $50M+.

Tiltify's product portfolio spans four surfaces: Tiltify Charity and Tiltify Personal (the core consumer and SMB campaign tools for nonprofit and personal causes), Tiltify Catalyst (an enterprise add-on launched publicly in December 2025 for large charities requiring peer-to-peer oversight and engagement tooling), and Tiltify Impact / Tiltify Impact Fund (sub-brands for outcome tracking and directed giving). The platform runs on AWS infrastructure with Cloudflare WAF and Freshdesk support tooling.

Revenue is generated via transaction fees applied to donations processed through the platform, with specific take rates not publicly disclosed. Distribution is a hybrid of self-serve web onboarding (targeting individual fundraisers and creators) and direct enterprise outreach via Tiltify Catalyst. By 2025 the platform had facilitated cumulative donations exceeding $500 million. The company has disclosed approximately $7.5M in equity funding across a 2017 Series 1 and a 2020 Series 2 led by Pace Capital, and operates with an 11-50 employee footprint.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• GoFundMe: Mass-market personal and charitable crowdfunding platform; overlaps with Tiltify Personal for individual fundraisers and competes for nonprofit donor attention. Significantly broader scale but lacks deep livestream integration.
• JustGiving: Established UK-based charitable fundraising platform serving major nonprofits and peer-to-peer campaigns. Comparable charity fundraising use case but primarily web/mobile-first rather than livestream-integrated.
• Classy (GoFundMe Pro): Enterprise nonprofit fundraising platform (now part of GoFundMe) offering peer-to-peer and event fundraising capabilities. Competes with Tiltify Catalyst for mid-market and enterprise nonprofit contracts.

Direct peers

• Funraise: Nonprofit fundraising platform offering donor CRM, peer-to-peer campaigns, and enterprise tools for charities. Directly comparable to Tiltify Catalyst's enterprise nonprofit value proposition with similar SaaS-like revenue model.
• Givebutter: Modern nonprofit fundraising platform combining donations, events, auctions, and peer-to-peer campaigns. Competes with Tiltify Charity/Catalyst on nonprofit self-serve and peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities.
• Donorbox: Recurring donation and peer-to-peer fundraising platform for nonprofits, providing embeddable donation forms and campaign management. Comparable SaaS-based charity fundraising functionality without livestream focus.
• Streamlabs (Logitech G): Creator livestreaming tool suite with donation/alert functionality used by streamers and creators; competes directly with Tiltify for creator-driven donation flows on Twitch and YouTube.
• StreamElements: Creator tools platform offering alerts, overlays, and tip/donation features for livestreamers. Directly comparable on creator-monetization mechanics; some streamers use it for charity streams as a Tiltify alternative.

Emerging players

• The Giving Block: Crypto philanthropy platform enabling nonprofits to accept cryptocurrency donations; recognized alongside Tiltify in the Most Impactful Awards. Comparable on nonprofit donation infrastructure but with a crypto-specific focus.
• RallyUp: Peer-to-peer and event fundraising platform for nonprofits and schools. Comparable to Tiltify's peer-to-peer and team fundraising functionality for charity and community campaigns.
