About Northworld.

Northworld has been building fundraising tools for schools and nonprofits for over 18 years. We started with a simple observation: organizations need tools that work, not platforms that promise everything and deliver complexity.

Who we are

Independent, small, and mighty.

Northworld was started by four parents in 2007, to fill a need for affordable fundraising software that worked for volunteer‑driven parent groups. We're independent, small, and focused on what we do best — helping your group put on fantastic fundraising events.

Chapter II · Our story

From one school's auction to a quiet family of products.

What began as a solution for one school's auction needs has grown into a family of focused products, each serving distinct communities. Along the way, we've learned that the best tools are the ones that let you focus on your mission, not your software.

Today, Northworld powers thousands of fundraising events annually, helping organizations raise millions of dollars for their causes. The core principle remains: build tools that work, price them fairly, and support them well.

Chapter III · What we believe

Technology should serve your mission — not complicate it.

That's why we build focused products with transparent pricing, prioritize donor trust, and maintain a long‑term perspective. We're here to help you raise more, with less friction.
