What Civic Champs does

Civic Champs, Inc. is a Bloomington/Indianapolis-headquartered (with a secondary Pittsburgh office) SaaS company founded in 2019 that builds a cloud-based, mobile-first volunteer management platform for nonprofit organizations. The platform combines a web admin portal with native iOS and Android apps and uses geofencing technology to automatically check volunteers in and out of service locations via mobile alerts, eliminating manual hour entry. Functional capabilities include volunteer profile management, event and shift scheduling, group and waiver management, kiosk mode for on-site check-in, in-app messaging, and reporting/analytics for grant writing and ROI calculation, with native integrations to Little Green Light (SMB donor CRM) and Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT (enterprise nonprofit CRM).

The company sells on a quote-based annual subscription model with tiers spanning organizations from roughly 30 volunteers to 3,000+ volunteers, and uses a hybrid inside-sales / community-led go-to-market combining webinars, content marketing, SEO, conference speaking (MAVA, Blackbaud, Habitat for Humanity), self-serve signup, and a TechSoup marketplace listing. Named customers include 19 Habitat for Humanity affiliates, Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania (12 Clubhouses), United Way, animal rescue organizations (e.g., Animal Friends Rescue Project), and a range of human-services and youth-development nonprofits. The company is a Public Benefit Corporation and Pledge 1% signatory, has graduated from Techstars Iowa and MassChallenge Texas, and has raised approximately $1.05M in disclosed equity from Elevate Ventures, Techstars, MassChallenge, Innovation Works, IU Angel Network, BNY, and others between 2019 and 2022.
