Testimonials

We understand that resources can be limited, especially for smaller nonprofits, which is why CharityEZ is completely free for any charity with under $1 million in assets. This incredible opportunity is made possible thanks to the generous support of Wintrust Bank, Godfrey & Kahn, and Marquette University. We know it might seem "too good to be true," but rest assured, our commitment is genuine. Explore our testimonials to see how CharityEZ has already made a difference for many organizations.

The CharityEZ platform has been a fantastic resource to help me find great disability service organizations in Wisconsin. I always recommend it to anyone who works in the non-profit sector. The creator and the team that support the platform share a sincere dedication to giving back to the community and a commitment to excellence.

My grants manager has identified 65 legitimate foundation prospects in Milwaukee and Outagamie County for us to reach out to thanks to your site. We’re picking a new county in our service area each week and it’s like Christmas every time we go over the intel we’re able to source from your platform. Thank you for sharing it with us! .... Your site is a gift!

I have been so blessed by the connections I have made through the Think Tank and look forward to the upcoming Think Tank. I have learned so much through the Think Tank and have been able to implement the new knowledge in our organization. Charity EZ has been so helpful. I submitted several grant applications, which I found through Charity EZ and we have received over $7,000 in grant funding from our first time utilizing the software.

I wanted to send you a note to say thank you for the invitation to the Think Tank on April 17th. It was encompassing, interesting, informative, inviting, engaging and probably a dozen other "n's". I thoroughly enjoyed the morning. (Ok, that last 'en' just popped out.) There were so many great ideas shared and seeds planted for different ways to work with volunteers to help them participate in the joy of making the world a better place, one person at a time. I am looking forward to your next Think Tank and so appreciate the work The Mars Family Foundation and CharityEZ does for so many.

The exceptional excellence, kindness, and generosity of CharityEZ has been remarkable to Ozaukee Christian School (and myself personally). I've been exceptionally fortunate to walk with CharityEZ since they began and it's having a significant impact on my work of grant writing for our school. CharityEZ is detailed in specific ways to enable a non-profit to move onward in a strong way. The site is searchable in so many ways and easy to use! By location/state, purpose/nature of need/mission, name and many more ways, we can find new grantors for our school. It enables us to write for different topics/areas within our school that need help. They also provide free Think Tanks. What a positive way to help new charities, old charities, small charities, and large charities to work together! Honestly, the Think Tank helped me proceed with a positive attitude and keep 'er movin' to the end goal of benefitting our school. Brainstorming and working together will help you meet your goals. Don't think twice about seeking help and information and good things from CharityEZ and the Think Tanks! They will benefit you in ways you don't even know about yet! OCS would not be where we are today, without the generous help of CharityEZ!

Our organization is thrilled with the new Charity EZ system. We are now using it to do low cost background checks for all of our volunteers. It's quick and thorough. Sean Mars has excellent customer service and support for any questions or problems that arise. We also love the 990 search tool. This has led us to many potential grant opportunities. It is easy to use and we have found it to be very accurate.

Having good intentions to help others is a noble cause. Having an outlet to achieve those goals requires drive, ambition, passion, and resources. I have been blessed to be associated with the Mars Family Foundation since their beginning. Sean, Dennis, and Julie have been a Godsend for our charity. They have shared their experiences, knowledge, personal connections, and tech support, freely and without any "catch". The Mars crew provides us with the tools to complete our mission which is to provide outdoor and other recreation opportunities to children. It's frequently said that "nothing good is free". I will argue differently when it comes to the MFF. They host the Charity EZ website which helps us connect with other charities, volunteers, and resources. The Think Tank sessions are instrumental in allowing us to work through difficult challenges and refining our current practices. I can always count on the MFF when we are in need. Thank you for your guidance and friendship!!! God Bless-

We have been using CharityEZ since it became available and are beyond excited about it. We use it for Grant writing and appreciate the capabilities it has compared to other resources. To be able to access both local and out of state information as well as detailed 990 information gives more detail than any platform we have used. The fact that it’s free is amazing, especially for small nonprofits.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of the Think Tank meeting today! I really loved it! It was very warm and inviting, and there was a lot of great energy and collaboration that was fostered. As you know, that seems a little too rare these days, so I really appreciate being able to be a part of that!
