Overview
Catalyser is a purpose-driven platform that empowers workplace giving through corporate volunteering, payroll giving, and fundraising solutions. Designed to help organizations amplify their social impact, Catalyser supports a wide range of corporate giving initiatives through a streamlined digital experience.
Challenge
Catalyser needed a fast, scalable, and easily manageable platform to support its mission. With multiple functionalities and user journeys—from employees to corporate administrators—the platform had to deliver high performance while maintaining flexibility for ongoing updates and campaigns.
