Our Team


StayClassy was founded in 2006 by a couple of average guys who wanted to support a cause they cared about, but didn't know how. They decided to host a fundraising event in San Diego, CA called the "StayClassy PB Pubcrawl" to raise money for cancer research (yes, it started with a bar crawl... and yes, the name was inspired by the movie Anchorman). Over time, more and more non profits started reaching out to the founders asking for help in engaging a younger audience. One event turned into dozens, and the idea for an online platform that could empower anyone to support the causes they cared about was born. Over the course of the past three years, StayClassy has evolved into a fresh & innovative software company for non profits and their many supporters. Our team is young, energetic, and ready to revolutionize the old-school world of philanthropy. We look forward to working with you to support the causes that you care about most.
