At Soapbox, we're dedicated to the success of nonprofits especially during the current pandemic. To better support that success, we've invested a significant amount of engineering resources to further improve our peer-to-peer fundraising solution over the last several weeks. Peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns leverage valuable social connections for organizations to raise money in these uniquely challenging times and we're committed to elevating the effectiveness and ease of those campaigns.

We continue to make these investments into the current month and beyond to ensure that nonprofits are equipped for the challenge of raising money to fund their missions.
