If you’ve been involved in the nonprofit world for the last decade, you know that the landscape of nonprofit fundraising has significantly shifted to increase charitable giving as digital innovation drives donor engagement. But in order for innovation to truly change the fundraising game, it’s critical for innovators in technology and finance to direct their attention and their talents toward increasing social good. 

Steve Latham is doing just that. 

In 2020, while many of us were locked in our homes and navigating the uncertain terrain of a global pandemic, Steve recognized an opportunity to increase donations to nonprofits doing critical and life-saving work. As a fintech innovator, Steve leveraged his background in finance, technology, and digital marketing to found DonateStock, a tech platform addressing the historical inaccessibility of nonprofit stock donations by streamlining the stock donation process.

In the last two years, DonateStock has innovated the stock donation pipeline so that everyday investors can donate stock to nonprofits with ease, allowing donors to give more charitably and save their tax dollars in the process. 

By making stock donations a mainstream source of nonprofit revenue, DonateStock allows nonprofits to tap into a new pool of resources to elevate the financial infrastructure of their social good initiatives. Creating more opportunities for nonprofit fundraising? We love to see it.

Listen in as Steve introduces us to the world of nonprofit stock donations, and learn why stock is the “biggest pool to fish in” for nonprofit fundraising. You’ll want to listen until the end to hear about the exciting partnership between DonateStock and Funraise!
