Its crypto product converts incoming donations to cash instantly, provides an embeddable giving form for a nonprofit's own website, records gift data in a donation dashboard, and connects to CRM systems and thousands of other integrations. The stock giving product is designed around a short digital flow intended for major, tax-optimized gifts, while the DAF product offers an online form for accepting DAF grants with integrations to leading DAF providers and direct onsite donor login.

Alongside the donation tools, the company runs a discovery layer in which nonprofits create profiles and crypto donors search for causes to support.
