The alternative to Facebook birthday fundraisers for nonprofits
Facebook birthday fundraisers
- • One person at a time, not community-wide
- • Funds routed through Meta with payout delays
- • No donor data — you lose the relationship
- • Manual to set up, manually remembered, manually shared
- • Goes away entirely if Meta changes the product
WishWell
- • Runs automatically across your whole community
- • Donations land in your account — directly
- • You keep every donor record and contact detail
- • Optional printed birthday cards in the mail, not just email
- • 15-minute setup once, then fully hands-off
- • Your fundraiser, your brand, your data — forever
WishWell is a better alternative to GoFundMe and Facebook birthday fundraisers for community organizations. Instead of relying on individual supporters to create one-off fundraisers, WishWell turns your entire community into a recurring, automated giving engine — with every donation going straight to your cause.
Beyond birthdays — graduation cards, tribute cards & more
WishWell lets your community come together for any special moment, not just birthdays. Admins create a special occasion and donors make a single wish. The platform handles the rest.
Graduation cards
Celebrate a student or group of students who have hit a milestone. The whole community sends wishes on one checkout line — each grad gets their own personalized card.
Achievement & award cards
Honor a member for an outstanding accomplishment — a scholarship, a service award, a promotion. Turn community recognition into a giving moment at the same time.
Community tribute cards
When a beloved member passes, the community can come together with a tribute card — sending wishes in their honor and donating to the shared cause as a living memorial.
How it works
One occasion. One checkout item. N personalized cards.
When you set up a graduation or tribute occasion, you select which members are being honored. Donors see a single line item at checkout — no matter how many recipients — and each recipient gets their own personalized card from the whole community. Donors don’t get overwhelmed; recipients each feel genuinely seen.
$350,000+ raised every year by the PAP Corps.
40+ community chapters. ~$50 per member per year. Entirely funded by birthday wishes, running automatically in the background. This is the model WishWell is built on.

About The OneGift Foundation
The The OneGift Foundation, Inc. is devoted to empowering generosity with technology. Founded in 2021 as a tech-forward organization, we believe that technology can be a massive source of power for good.
Our founder, Ryan Walter, is a serial social entrepreneur (astrophe.ventures) that has spent his career building organizations that have positive impacts on communities. OneGift is all about taking the tech entrepreneur's spirit to the giving sector, because few things have such a multiplier effect as generosity.
By giving, we get more than we could ever have imagined. There's too much friction in giving today, and OneGift aims to rectify that by leveraging the most advanced technologies to build simple, yet powerful tools and fundraisers that make giving easy. This will lead to more giving, more community, and more love. ❤️
