CHAMP

What CHAMP does

CHAMP CLOUD Limited is a privately held Irish software company headquartered in Sligo with a secondary office in Dublin that provides a cloud-based, multi-tenant CRM platform purpose-built for charities and not-for-profit organisations. The platform is delivered as a unified suite of integrated modules rather than a single product, comprising CHAMP Fundraiser (donor and donation management), CHAMP Member Manager (membership lifecycles and renewals), CHAMP Lottery (subscription prize draw administration), CHAMP Service User Manager (case and referral tracking for health and social care providers), the Volunteer Module (added in March 2021), the Virtual Memory Tree digital campaign, and the CHY Tax Reclaim module for Irish charitable donation scheme relief. The technology stack is in-house built and hosted in the cloud with no local data download, includes built-in GDPR tooling, and is integrated with a third-party ecosystem spanning Stripe and PayPal (payments), Xero and QuickBooks (accounting), MailChimp and SendGrid (email), iDonate and JustGiving (crowdfunding), and WordPress (website deployment).

The business model is SaaS subscription-based at the organisation level (not per-seat), supplemented by implementation, configuration, and training services delivered directly by the CHAMP team, and by design and deployment services for digital campaigns such as the Virtual Memory Tree. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with a sales-led go-to-market centred on 'Book a Demo' and 'Request a Quote' CTAs, supplemented by a community-led motion through the CHAMP Insights blog/newsletter and client referrals. Customer segments include fundraising charities (the primary segment), membership organisations, health and social care service providers, and lottery-operating charities, with named customers spanning Cancer Fund for Children, several Irish hospices, Down Syndrome Ireland, the USPCA, the Humanist Association of Ireland, and Shepherds Cove Hospice (Alabama, US). Geographic footprint is centred on Ireland and Northern Ireland with growing UK and US presence; no funding rounds, parent company, or acquisitions have been disclosed.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription (CRM Software Licenses): CHAMP CLOUD generates revenue primarily through subscription licensing of its cloud-based CRM platform to charities and not-for-profit organisations. Clients subscribe to access the CHAMP Fundraiser, Member Manager, Service User Manager, Lottery, and Virtual Tree modules. Pricing is organization-level rather than individual seat-based, targeting entire charity operations.
2. Implementation & Configuration Services: CHAMP works directly with client organisations to configure and customise the software to meet specific needs. This includes understanding client requirements, implementing integrations with client websites and third-party software, and providing training. The About Us page explicitly states 'the first part of the process is for us to understand your needs – and then we work with you to ensure they are met through the effective use of our software and integrations.'
3. Digital Campaign Deployment: CHAMP creates and deploys custom digital campaigns (e.g., Virtual Memory Tree) for clients, including custom design, messaging, and functional configuration. The Campaigns page describes the company creating the unique design and messaging for each client organisation.

Direct peers

• Bloomerang: Bloomerang is a US-headquartered SaaS CRM purpose-built for small-to-mid-sized nonprofits, with donor retention analytics, online giving, email, and event management. It is a direct competitor to CHAMP Fundraiser in the vertical nonprofit CRM category, differentiated primarily by its donor-retention focus.
• NeonCRM: NeonCRM (by Neon One) is a cloud CRM designed specifically for nonprofits, covering fundraising, membership, events, and program management. Its all-in-one module structure and nonprofit-only focus make it a close functional analogue to CHAMP's integrated Fundraiser/Member Manager/Service User offering.
• Beacon CRM: Beacon CRM is a UK-based nonprofit CRM purpose-built for charities, offering donor management, fundraising, Gift Aid, and event tools. It is one of CHAMP's closest geographic and product analogues, competing for the same UK and Irish charity customers that CHAMP targets with its own compliance-driven feature set.
• DonorPerfect (by SofterWare): DonorPerfect is a long-established nonprofit CRM with donor management, online donations, events, and membership functionality. It overlaps with CHAMP Fundraiser and Member Manager and represents a comparable mid-market SaaS alternative for small and mid-sized charities.
• CharityEngine: CharityEngine is an all-in-one nonprofit CRM and fundraising platform offering donor management, email, events, payments, and volunteer coordination. Its integrated, charity-only focus and multi-module architecture closely mirror CHAMP's Fundraiser + Member Manager + Volunteer Module approach.

Broad incumbents

• Bonterra: Bonterra (formerly Network for Good/EveryAction/ActionKit) is a large nonprofit software suite spanning fundraising, CRM, marketing, and grants management. It competes with CHAMP in the broader nonprofit software category, particularly through EveryAction, which directly overlaps CHAMP's donor management and email capabilities.
• Blackbaud: Blackbaud is the largest dedicated nonprofit software provider (Raiser's Edge NXT, eTapestry, Luminate, JustGiving). It overlaps with CHAMP Fundraiser in donor management, online fundraising, and payment processing, and represents the most direct incumbent threat in larger Irish/UK charities seeking enterprise-grade fundraising platforms.
• Salesforce (Nonprofit Cloud / NPSP): Salesforce's Nonprofit Cloud and Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) is the dominant enterprise CRM platform for nonprofits globally, offering donor management, fundraising, and program management. CHAMP competes against NPSP in the Irish/UK mid-market by offering a more affordable, purpose-built alternative with deeper charity-specific compliance features (CHY Tax Reclaim).

Emerging players

• Classy (by GoFundMe): Classy is a modern online fundraising and donor management platform acquired by GoFundMe, focused on peer-to-peer campaigns, events, and recurring giving. It competes with CHAMP for online donation volume and Virtual Memory Tree-style digital campaigns, though it lacks CHAMP's deeper CRM and service user management capabilities.
• Funraise: Funraise is a nonprofit fundraising platform offering donor CRM, online giving, peer-to-peer campaigns, and donation forms. It targets mid-market nonprofits with a modern, API-first stack, making it an emerging competitor to CHAMP Fundraiser — particularly for digitally mature charities evaluating modern alternatives to legacy systems.
