Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Matt, founder of Sapling. I built this for the small but mighty nonprofits that often get overlooked by complex or expensive fundraising platforms. After 20+ years in nonprofit tech (I also run ClickBid), I kept seeing the same problem: early-stage 501(c)(3)s — sometimes with zero staff — struggling to run basic fundraisers without hiring help or battling software. So I made Sapling: a free, simple fundraising tool with a visual Giving Grid and built-in AI tools to help generate outreach content (emails, social, texts) in minutes. It's as easy as setting up this PH submission! Sapling is designed for the tiny teams doing mighty work — the ones juggling mission and operations with little time or budget. Would love your feedback — especially if you’re building for niche verticals or using AI to make tech more human. Thanks for checking it out! AMA anytime 🙏

Huge update at Sapling.mobi. We are now focused on the use of video to promote fundraising. Just like swiping through an Instagram feed, you can add as many videos as you like to promote your charity. Less text and much more video! Looking for feedback for Sapling. It feels like with all the consolidation of platforms, nonprofits need something simple and quick to raise money.

More updates to Sapling. We now offer Veo generated content based on prompts and a style chooser. To keep things from getting weird, we limit generated video to animation - non photorealistic formats. Coming soon, push notices for new content and multiple campaign manager.

Sapling has been a fully vibed project based on a legacy platform created in 2012. It has been a year-long learning experience to see what's possible with a solo MVP pursuit. I did a video breakdown at the following link to discuss the wins and losses. https://youtu.be/_QW7BYrlovM
