Jean-Michel Basquiat started by chalking cryptic poetry on walls in New York under the name SAMO. He was wild, bold, and impossible to ignore — not because he followed the rules, but because he didn’t.

He forced people to see things differently.

That’s kind of what we’re trying to do with Raiser. Not just build another bit of software — but spark a shift in how small charities are seen, supported, and funded.

But this isn’t just about us.

If you’re out there running one of those small-but-mighty local charities — constantly explaining your value, always juggling too much — we see you.

Keep carving your niche. Keep doing it differently.

You’re not just doing good work. You’re doing it your way.

And that matters.
