Force4Good Fundraising Expands Platform Beyond Fundraiser Events, Launching Full Community Giving Suite and CRM

July 8, 2026

Erie, CO July 13th, 2026- Force4Good Fundraising, the technology platform that helps restaurants and local businesses automate and grow their community giving programs, today announced a significant expansion of its platform capabilities. The company, which launched in 2019 to streamline restaurant fundraiser nights, now supports the full spectrum of business-to-nonprofit giving, including donation requests, gift card programs, and sponsorships, as well as a new CRM tool that tracks everything in one place.

A Platform Built on Listening

This expansion came from the people using the platform every day. Restaurants were receiving community giving requests through disconnected channels, with no good way to manage, track, report on, or quantify them beyond fundraiser events. Nonprofits struggled finding giving partners, coordinating events, and measuring outcomes was challenging.Force4Good took both lists seriously and expanded upon the platform to solve for both.

"This evolution is a direct result of listening to our partners," said Steven Cook, co-founder of Force4Good. "Restaurants aren't just running fundraisers. They're managing a whole portfolio of community relationships. We built the tools to make that manageable, measurable, and marketable."

What's New for Business Partners

Restaurants, retailers, and other participating businesses can now use the Force4Good platform to:

• Streamline in-store fundraisers with automated operations and documentation
• Manage intake for donation requests and sponsorship inquiries in one centralized place
• Track and report on local marketing and community giving initiatives and relationships through the new CRM component
• Market their giving programs to an active database of 45,000+ nonprofit event organizers 

What's New for Nonprofit Partners

Nonprofits using the platform can now:

• Find participating restaurants and retailers near them using an interactive map
• Schedule fundraiser events and submit donation requests and sponsorship inquiries in one place (at participating partners)
• Invite supporters with custom marketing materials
• Measure fundraiser performance and community impact through an easy-to-use dashboard

Beyond Restaurants

The platform expansion also marks Force4Good's continuation of growth beyond the food service industry. Retail partners and other local businesses can now access the same tools, extending the company's community-giving infrastructure to a broader range of brands.
