OneCause's 2025 Cares Grants: Elevating Nonprofit Impact

In a significant move to empower nonprofit organizations, OneCause, a renowned provider of event and online fundraising technology, has unveiled the recipients of its 2025 OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program. This initiative, designed to strengthen the efforts of emerging nonprofits, focuses on providing essential fundraising technology that can enhance their outreach, maximize donations, and streamline operations.

Entering its fourth year, the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program awards two nonprofit organizations with complimentary two-year subscriptions to their chosen OneCause software solutions. Each of these technology grants is valued at up to $10,000 and includes a suite of support services such as best-practice resources, live workshops, and access to expert consulting. This proactive approach has proved fruitful; since the inception of the program, participating nonprofits have harnessed OneCause's software to generate over $800,000 in funds.

According to Steve Johns, CEO of OneCause, the company's mission aligns seamlessly with supporting nonprofits in their endeavors. “OneCause is dedicated to equipping nonprofits with the tools necessary to advance their missions,” he stated. “Through this grants program, we are excited to support organizations that are effecting meaningful changes in their communities. Our objective is to ensure all nonprofits, regardless of size, can benefit from innovative and accessible fundraising solutions.”

The 2025 grant recipients are:

Chix 4 A Cause

Chix 4 A Cause is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that dedicates its efforts to provide vital financial and emotional support to cancer patients. The organization will leverage OneCause’s technology to enhance its signature fundraising events, including the “Race Against Cancer” and the “Kickin Sippin” gala. These events are critical to raising funds for their Gift of Love program, which assists hundreds of individuals experiencing cancer treatment each year. Jillian Clark, the Visionary Founder of Chix 4 A Cause, shared her enthusiasm: “The OneCause software grant will enable us to support more individuals battling cancer and elevate our organizational impact in the community.”

WeCare

Another notable recipient is WeCare, an organization dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of healthcare professionals. WeCare plans to utilize OneCause software to streamline fundraising efforts for its upcoming golf tournament and inaugural gala. The nonprofit's mission revolves around providing healthcare workers with the necessary resources, retreats, and wellness services to bolster resilience and improve job satisfaction. Christa Rymal, CEO of WeCare, expressed gratitude for the grant, stating: “This grant allows us to expand our reach, ensuring we can offer more resources to the heroes in our healthcare system.”

The OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program is specifically tailored for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations located in the United States and Canada. Grantees are chosen based on their apparent need for technology, alignment with OneCause’s core focus areas — Wellness, Community, and Sustainability — and how the technology can fundamentally enhance their missions.

For those interested, applications for the 2026 grants will open in the fall of 2025. More information regarding the OneCause Cares Corporate Grants Program can be found on their official website.
