Moceanic

What Moceanic does

Moceanic operates The Fundraisingology Lab, a subscription-based online education platform that delivers on-demand fundraising courses, workshops, live Q&A sessions, downloadable tools, and a private community to nonprofit fundraising professionals. The platform offers more than 30 courses covering donor acquisition, direct mail, major gifts, monthly giving, bequests, storytelling, digital fundraising, and nonprofit communications, with over 115 CFRE-accredited continuing education credits, and is complemented by a separate Coaching+ service providing one-on-one strategic guidance to nonprofit organizations. The underlying technology is a standard web-based learning management system with video courses, downloadable resources, and an integrated members-only Facebook community rather than a proprietary AI-driven platform.

The business model is built on individual and team subscription revenue (US$49/month or US$450/year for individuals; US$1,245/year for a five-seat team plan, with custom pricing up to 100+ seats) layered on top of project-based Coaching+ engagements. Distribution is primarily self-serve and community-led through direct website enrollment, free webinars, content marketing, and word-of-mouth, with scarcity mechanics (enrollment open only a few times per year) and a 30-day money-back guarantee supporting conversion. Customers span thousands of fundraisers across 30+ countries including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Italy, Austria, Israel, and Japan.

The company is privately held by co-founders Sean Triner and Christiana Stergiou (founded 2016 in Australia), with no disclosed external institutional investment. Core operations are run by a small team of fewer than 10 people including General Manager Kate Graham and Fundraisingologists Jeff Brooks and James Herlihy. Legal entities include Better World Communication Limited (Hong Kong) and Moceanic Pty Ltd (Australia), with a US mailing address in Seattle.

Direct peers

• Nonprofit Hub: Nonprofit Hub delivers online training, conferences, books, and resources for nonprofit professionals, including fundraising tracks — overlapping directly with Moceanic's audience and course-based delivery model.
• CharityHowTo: CharityHowTo produces webinars and online courses specifically for nonprofit fundraisers, with a similar content-led, subscription-and-event business model targeting the same audience as Moceanic's Fundraisingology Lab.

Emerging players

• Network for Good: Network for Good offers donor management software alongside fundraising guides, webinars, and learning resources for nonprofits — a partial overlap with Moceanic's content/coaching layer, though their primary product is software.
• DonorPerfect: DonorPerfect is a long-standing donor management software provider that publishes fundraising guides, webinars, and resource libraries targeted at the same nonprofit fundraiser audience as Moceanic.
• Funraise: Funraise is a modern fundraising platform for nonprofits that also produces educational content, webinars, and a podcast for fundraisers, partially overlapping with Moceanic's content mission while competing primarily on software.
• Bloomerang: Bloomerang is a donor management SaaS provider that also publishes substantial fundraising educational content, webinars, and a podcast; it competes with Moceanic for the attention and training budgets of the same small-to-mid nonprofit fundraiser persona.

Broad incumbents

• Classy (GoFundMe Pro): Classy, now part of GoFundMe Pro, is a leading online fundraising platform that also publishes fundraising resources and educational content for nonprofits — a broader incumbent that overlaps with Moceanic on training content while competing on tooling.
• The Fund Raising School (Indiana University Lilly Family Philanthropy): The Fund Raising School at Indiana University offers professional fundraising certificate programs and courses — directly comparable to Moceanic's certification and curriculum offering, but delivered through an academic institution with credentialed faculty rather than practitioner-experts.
• Candid (formerly Foundation Center + GuideStar): Candid provides research, educational resources, and training for the nonprofit sector including fundraising professionals — comparable to Moceanic's audience and education-focused mission but at much larger scale and institutional scope.
• Blackbaud (Blackbaud Institute): Blackbaud, the largest software provider to nonprofits, also runs the Blackbaud Institute offering educational resources, webinars, and credentialing for fundraisers — a broad incumbent competing for the same professional-development budget that funds Moceanic subscriptions.
