Golden Named to Fortune's 2025 Change the World List for Transforming Civic Engagement

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden, a leader in volunteer management and fundraising technology, has been named to Fortune's Change the World list for 2025, a prestigious ranking that recognizes companies making a positive social impact as part of their core business strategy.

Fortune's Change the World list recognizes businesses that prove profit and purpose can thrive together. Honorees are selected through a rigorous review process that considers social impact, business results, and innovation. Golden was recognized for its role in transforming civic engagement with modern infrastructure that makes volunteering easier, more personal, and more impactful for both individuals and institutions.

Founded in 2015, Golden now supports more than 48,000 organizations worldwide, providing tools that help nonprofits, schools, governments, healthcare institutions, and companies mobilize people at scale. Nonprofits using Golden report a 22.5 percent increase in volunteer sign-ups and a 31 percent improvement in retention after one year, along with efficiency gains that free staff to focus more on community impact.

In May 2025, Golden expanded its reach by launching a $500 million in-kind software donation initiative, offering free access to essential infrastructure for up to 1 million nonprofits affected by AmeriCorps and USAID funding freezes. The effort provided immediate support to organizations facing the sudden loss of more than 200,000 federal volunteers and helped ensure continuity of critical community services.

"Our vision is to enable everyone to lead a more fulfilling lifestyle through service, and every organizer to collaboratively improve the human condition," said Sam Fankuchen, Founder & CEO of Golden. "Golden is proving that accessible technology, collaboration, and responsible use of AI can accelerate wellbeing in local communities, around the world. Recognition on Fortune's Change the World list is a testament to what's possible when service is treated as essential infrastructure."
