CEO and Co-Founder
Givebutter
Max Friedman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Givebutter, a mission-driven fundraising and CRM platform empowering nonprofits, schools, teams, and individuals to raise funds, share stories, and build community.
Max co-founded Givebutter in 2016 with the mission to empower the changemaker in everyone. Under his leadership, Givebutter helps nonprofits consolidate all their fundraising, marketing, and donor management tools under one roof—making them free, easy, and fun to use. To date, Givebutter has powered more than $5 billion in donations for millions of changemakers and thousands of nonprofits—and the team is just getting started.
Rooted in values of transparency, fun, and community-centered giving, Max has reimagined what modern philanthropy can look like—turning giving into a shared social experience rather than a transaction. He frequently speaks and writes about nonprofit innovation, accessibility in tech, and the future of digital giving.
