ABOUT BETTERUNITE
At BetterUnite, our mission is to help and empower the helpers. Nonprofits shouldn't have to sacrifice functionality for affordability, so we've built an all-in-one platform to streamline operations and maximize impact.
OUR STORY
BetterUnite was born from frustration. Founder Leya Simmons witnessed firsthand the challenges nonprofits face with traditional fundraising platforms – exorbitant fees, limited functionality, and a lack of support. This experience ignited a desire to create a better solution. As she puts it, "I joke that I bitched loud and long enough that someone created software to shut me up." That person is her cofounder and husband, Tunç Samiloglu.
Born from the frustrations experienced by Leya during her time working with numerous nonprofits, BetterUnite emerged as a solution to the everyday challenges that plagued her and her colleagues. Recognizing the need for a more efficient and integrated platform, Leya, Tunç and his team developed a powerful and user-friendly system. BetterUnite seamlessly integrates with the core operations of nonprofits, encompassing fundraising, donor management, volunteer coordination, event planning, and more. What began as a side project to address Leya's constant complaints in 2017 has evolved into the comprehensive platform it is today, empowering nonprofits to achieve greater impact.

What people like to say about us
-
"We used OneCause for years but have switched to BetterUnite for our past 2 galas. Our auctioneer suggested that we make the move and we’ve never looked back. BetterUnite is easier to use and so much less expensive – we also are not stuck in a contract for several years."
Dana M. EANES EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION -
“We encourage all of our clients from Greater Giving or GiveSmart to BetterUnite. There is really no comparison. From an event organizer standpoint, BetterUnite has better tech, is far easier to use and, most importantly, the guests love it. It’s like having technology that makes the event great that the guests don’t even realize that they’re interacting with.”
Ann W. THE WOLFORD GROUP -
"BetterUnite is a great solution for our clients' fundraising events. Their team consists of experts in the field who are passionate about doing what's right for charities. We feel confident recommending BetterUnite to our charity partners and it's always a pleasure to share fundraising success with Leya and her team!"
