About Givebacks, Inc.

Givebacks is a mission-driven software company rethinking how K–12 school communities manage payments and fundraising. We build simple, transparent tools that bring districts, parent organizations, and families together in one unified platform—cutting through complexity so schools can spend less time on admin work and more time supporting students.
