Charidy Secures Growth Debt Financing for Non-Profit Fundraising Platform
Charidy does not sell hope. It sells math, timing, and human behavior, wrapped in software and delivered with a Brooklyn accent that understands how money actually moves when meaning is involved. Founded in 2013 in Brooklyn, New York by Yehuda Gurwitz with Ari Schapiro, Charidy built a B2B SaaS platform for nonprofits that treats fundraising less like a donate button and more like a live negotiation between urgency, pride, community, and proof.
This month, that discipline earned Charidy growth debt financing from Flashpoint Growth Debt Fund II, part of a $67 million vehicle closed in November 2025. Non dilutive. No vanity headlines. Just capital aligned with revenue, scale, and restraint. Flashpoint, a London based firm managing roughly $600 million, only backs post Series A companies clearing $3 million in annualized revenue with real momentum. Charidy cleared that bar quietly, then kept running.
The numbers tell the story without shouting. In 2025, $734 million moved through the platform globally, up from $606 million the year prior. Israel alone saw 432 million shekels raised, a 37 percent jump during a year when stability was not exactly guaranteed. Nearly 4,000 campaigns ran worldwide with a 99 percent success rate. Over time, more than $1.5 billion raised from over two million donors, with an average gift of $166. That is not impulse giving. That is engineered conviction.
Charidy’s edge lives in matching campaigns and psychology, not slogans. When donors see momentum, they move. When gifts multiply, hesitation collapses. The platform does not leave nonprofits alone with dashboards and prayers. It pairs technology with high touch campaign management, specialists who plan, pressure test, and execute. Software plus adults in the room.
The company is led by Chief Executive Officer Shay Chervinsky, who joined as COO in 2016 and stepped into the CEO role as Charidy matured into a global operation. Founder Yehuda Gurwitz remains focused on vision and direction. Chief Financial Officer Raviv Shefet brings two decades of financial leadership across SaaS and platform businesses. On the ground, leaders like Chaya Abelsky in the United States and Peretz Schapiro across Australia and Asia Pacific have turned regional presence into real dollars, not slide decks.
Flashpoint’s capital lands at a moment when Charidy is choosing leverage over dilution and expansion over noise. The nonprofit fundraising market is growing, digital is no longer optional, and donors are sharper than platforms think. Charidy is betting that respect, structure, and behavioral truth scale better than hype.
