The Charity Gurus founders Garrett Pattiani and Russ White have made it their mission to improve the online operations of nonprofit organizations. As longtime supporters of local LGBTQ and HIV/AIDS nonprofits, White and Pattiani set out to create software that caters specifically to the unique needs of charitable organizations, allowing for fewer technology disruptions, streamlined IT operations, social media and online advertising management, and increased donor contributions.
“We have spent years working with many nonprofits throughout Las Vegas and see time and time again the challenges organizations face in working with technology and marketing. We’ve been able to translate our skills in enterprise and nightlife, and adapt our technology to meet the needs of nonprofits by becoming one. Our goal is to provide services at a zero-budget impact to organizations that use us, as well as increase donations, sponsorships and revenue opportunities,” White said.
Pattiani, who also serves on the governing board of the LGBTQ Center, and White, executive director of the Lambda Business Association, have spent the past four years developing software platforms for various ventures, including the Charity Gurus. Today, the Charity Gurus work with multiple local nonprofits, including the LGBTQ Center. “Most notably, we have transformed operations for the LGBTQ Center of Southern Nevada by providing a new web infrastructure, creating an integrated donor management platform and consolidating donor sources,” White said. “One of the greatest benefits we provide organizations is maximizing advertising grants provided by Google.”
Pattiani and White’s continuous support for nonprofits in Southern Nevada has not only allowed them to give back on a daily basis, but reach innovative software solutions for such organizations.
