SHARE Omaha acquires Share Good – a high-tech advantage for new philanthropy
SHARE Omaha announces the acquisition of Share Good LLC, a branded community engagement platform powered by web-based technology. It connects new donors and volunteers to nonprofit causes for communitywide impact on quality of life.
OMAHA, Neb. -- The acquisition of Share Good LLC by SHARE Omaha moves its proprietary community engagement software into the future of approachable philanthropy. Marjorie Maas, executive director of SHARE Omaha, sees growing demand nationwide to make giving easy and accessible. “Communities and nonprofit organizations using this platform can immediately become more inclusive. We are excited to bring Share Good to Omaha’s Silicon Prairie to push the boundaries of innovative community engagement. It is a natural fit for the amazing tech culture here,” said Maas.
Share Good founder, Kelly Brooks, turned her dream of a community engagement platform into a powerful tool that simplifies charitable giving to nonprofits - a single destination to donate, volunteer, shop wish lists or attend events. Brooks says the sale to SHARE Omaha is a natural next step for the organization. “I am proud of what we have built and excited to pass the baton. The SHARE Omaha team is laser focused on the Share Good vision as well as its sustainability and growth. They can count on me for support in any way possible,” said Brooks.
