GiveCampus Ranks No. 2,678 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

This Marks the Company’s Fourth Consecutive Appearance on the List

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 12, 2025 – GiveCampus, the leading fundraising platform for education, has earned its fourth consecutive spot on the Inc. 5000, ranking No. 2,678. The recognition follows the company’s fastest annual growth since 2021—and a $100 million investment in product development to help educational advancement teams drive better outcomes.

The Inc. 5000 list offers a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment: independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Earning a coveted spot on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth year in a row is a testament to our commitment to schools—helping them meet donors where they are, create personalized experiences, and raise more dollars, faster,” said Co-Founder and CEO Kestrel Linder. “We’re incredibly proud to further invest in innovation to enhance the quality, affordability, and accessibility of education.”

Last week, GiveCampus kicked off its annual Partners Conference in Washington, D.C., drawing record attendance both in person and virtually. Kestrel Linder, alongside Head of Product Jennn Schilling, unveiled how the company’s recent $100 million investment in product development is redefining fundraising and engagement for advancement teams of all sizes.

Addressing a standing-room-only crowd of nearly 600 attendees, the two leaders detailed how GiveCampus is doubling down on modern donor experiences, deep personalization, AI-powered intelligence, and seamless integrations—all designed to help schools grow giving days, drive event attendance, and build sustainable donor pipelines.

From four new ways to give, to AI Agents that work alongside teams—GiveCampus is redefining what’s possible in educational advancement. This year alone, the company will help facilitate more than $1 billion dollars in charitable giving to 1,300+ educational institutions.

According to Inc., honorees like GiveCampus have achieved exceptional growth while navigating an uncertain economic climate, inflationary pressures, and a fluctuating labor market.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it. Their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
