WilmerHale Advises GiveCampus in $50M Series A Financing

• 9.28.2022

On September 19, 2022, GiveCampus, a leading fundraising platform for nonprofit educational institutions, announced that it has closed a $50 million minority growth equity investment led by Silversmith Capital Partners, a Boston-based growth equity firm. The capital will be used to accelerate product development and hiring across the organization.

The financing marks the first time the company has raised capital since raising less than $1 million from family, friends, angel investors, and Y Combinator in 2015. Several individual investors also participated in the financing. GiveCampus was founded in 2014 to advance the quality, affordability, and accessibility of education by providing non-profit educational institutions with a modern platform to reach, engage and mobilize their communities. Since its launch in 2015, the platform has facilitated more than $2 billion in charitable giving to more than 1,000 colleges, universities, and K12 schools. 

The WilmerHale legal team representing GiveCampus was led by Stephanie Evans and Gary Schall and included Bill Caporizzo, Scott Kilgore, Michael Dawson, Jeff Johnson, Andrew Stauber, Sam Rothberg and Gavin Tullis.
