$16M Raised. 2M Dips.
$16M raised in funding with 2M dips - a success story!
We're excited to announce that nonprofit organizations have collectively raised $16 million using DipJar!
The idea for the
first DipJar
came from founder Ryder Kessler in 2008 as a way to tip
coffee shop baristas. And man, how it has grown since
then! When the team realized that DipJar could help
nonprofit organizations raise critical funds to support
their work, we were ecstatic.
We quickly became
committed to improving the world of fundraising to make
donating fun, easy, and memorable. We adjusted the design
of the DipJar to better serve nonprofits who were
transitioning from traditional cash and check donations to
accepting credit cards. Since entering the nonprofit
fundraising world, our team has worked hard to ensure all
of our customers see success because we believe that we
are only successful if our customers are successful.
How We Got There
Our customers. It's their dedication to their
mission-driven work that got us to where we are today.
We've climbed to over
5,000 customers across the United States,
with 9,098 DipJars "in the
wild". These DipJars are everywhere - at an
organization's office, at events, golf fundraisers,
galas, and partner retail locations to encourage members
of the public to support nonprofit work in their
communities. And they've done just that. Over
2 million dips have been made to reach
$16 million raised.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center, one of our largest customers, has been using DipJar to
collect visitor donations in their welcome center since
2017. Since purchasing their first DipJar, they’ve added
more Jars because they are so successful in engaging
visitors to donate to support their lifesaving work! It’s
incredibly exciting to announce that LMC has raised almost
$500,000 using their DipJars!

While DipJars have traditionally been used at events,
galas, and in lobbies, it’s fun to see how creative our
customers get to encourage donations through DipJar. If we
had to pick our favorite for ‘most creative’,
Friends of Dallas Animal Services
would win! They’ve nicknamed their DipJar “Phoebe” and
added a dog collar and ears to drive home that they are
fundraising for animals! Even more, they rotate ‘Phoebe’
around Dallas, Texas to new retail locations to reach a
broader audience. When ‘Phoebe’ was at their local pizza
shop, they cleverly placed the Jar in a pizza box with a
fresh donate sign to catch diners attention!
We
are where we are because of customers like Loggerhead
Marinelife Center and Friends of Dallas Animal Services.
We love the nonprofit community and are so proud to
help drive donor engagement to all the incredible
missions of our customers.
What's Next?

If the past year has taught us anything, it's that
the work that our nonprofit customers do is more critical
than ever. Our passion to help them achieve fundraising
success has only increased as a result. We kicked into
high gear when the pandemic required many customers to
cancel in person events to release
SparkVirtual
so they could continue to use DipJar to fundraise
virtually.
Our team is working hard to develop,
enhance, and innovate our product offerings and features
that will allow customers to achieve even greater success
with DipJar.
"We know how
challenging this past year has been for our customers -
the pandemic forced so many to adapt their strategies to
reach and engage with donors. DipJar has always been about
“in-person” giving, but we are in an increasingly “hybrid”
world, and believe that more and more events will combine
live and virtual presence. We’re working on many new
innovations to help connect and bridge these worlds - so
watch for more and let us know how we can help!"
"We
are thrilled to cross this threshold and be able to help
our customers and the causes they support, and we cannot
say a big enough 'thank you' to our customers
for trusting us to help make fundraising fun and easy! We
can't wait to see what we can do together next."

Moments!
