FlipGive

FlipGive is a Canadian team-funding and fundraising brand focused on helping sports teams, schools, and community groups generate financial support through ordinary consumer activity. Rather than relying only on direct donations or traditional fundraising sales, the platform connects participating teams and organizations with cashback opportunities. Supporters can contribute to a designated team by making purchases they would normally make, including shopping, dining out, booking hotels, and purchasing activities. The participating organization receives cash back associated with those transactions. The model positions fundraising as a recurring, low-friction activity rather than a one-time appeal. Teams and supporters can use the service to turn routine household, travel, dining, and leisure spending into contributions. This approach is particularly relevant to youth sports and community organizations, where families and volunteers often face repeated costs for registration, equipment, travel, facilities, and participation. FlipGive's public positioning has therefore centered on simplifying team fundraising and addressing the financial pressures associated with organized youth activities. FlipGive was formed in November 2015 as a spin-off from Better The World, a corporate social responsibility agency. Better The World was developed by partners who had attended the Executive MBA program at the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. The spin-off structure connected FlipGive's fundraising proposition with a broader social-impact and corporate-responsibility background. FlipGive is also identified as a certified B Corporation, reflecting an organizational emphasis on social and environmental accountability, although the available reference material does not specify the precise certification date or scope of its impact reporting. The brand has worked with former professional basketball player Dikembe Mutombo as an investor and corporate ambassador. His involvement was used to increase awareness of the rising cost of youth sports in North America and to connect FlipGive's fundraising service with a prominent public discussion about affordability and access to organized athletics. The available material does not identify the size or terms of his investment. In September 2025, FlipGive was acquired by RaiseRight, a United States-based online fundraising platform. The transaction placed FlipGive within a larger fundraising technology organization. The available sources do not provide financial terms, details about operational integration, or a separate post-acquisition strategy. As a result, FlipGive's current degree of operational independence, product roadmap, and leadership structure cannot be established from the supplied material. Its core identity remains that of a digital platform for cashback-based fundraising by teams and community organizations.

FlipGive emerged from Better The World, a corporate social responsibility agency associated with partners who attended the Executive MBA program at the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. The service was formed as a spin-off in November 2015. Its initial concept addressed a recurring problem for sports teams, schools, and community groups: organizations needed dependable fundraising, while families and supporters were already spending money on shopping, meals, travel, and activities. FlipGive developed a team-funding app around that behavior. Supporters could select or support a team and generate cash contributions when they used participating purchasing opportunities. The service described the model as cashback fundraising, with teams earning money from shopping, dining out, hotel bookings, and activities. This differentiated FlipGive from fundraising approaches that depend primarily on selling products, collecting one-time donations, or organizing physical events. It also made the platform relevant to youth sports, where expenses recur across a season and supporters may prefer a contribution method integrated into normal consumption. The brand's broader social-impact context was reinforced by its status as a B Corporation. The supplied material does not provide detailed information about FlipGive's certification process, impact metrics, employee structure, or governance, so those aspects cannot be documented reliably here. Similarly, the available sources do not identify the company's founders by name, its original funding, or detailed expansion milestones. FlipGive also sought to build public awareness around the affordability challenges facing youth athletics. It worked with Dikembe Mutombo as an investor and corporate ambassador. His involvement helped frame the platform within a wider issue: the increasing cost of participation in youth sports in North America. The available reference does not provide the date, financial terms, campaign budget, or measurable results of that relationship. In September 2025, FlipGive was acquired by RaiseRight, a United States-based online fundraising platform. The acquisition is the clearest documented ownership transition in the brand's history. No transaction value, integration plan, leadership announcement, or subsequent product changes are provided in the available reference material. FlipGive is therefore recorded as an active brand under RaiseRight, while its exact post-acquisition operating model remains unconfirmed.

  Cashback fundraising

  The cashback program converts qualifying consumer transactions into financial support for a selected team or organization. The documented purchase categories include shopping, restaurants, hotels, and activities.
