This Is Why We Do It: 2024 Colossal Impact Statement
At Colossal, we're all about making fundraising fun, impactful, and a little bit competitive! We’re excited to share how the millions raised in 2023/2024 have supercharged some amazing causes—from saving sea turtles to supporting kids battling cancer.
We’ve built a fundraising model that combines creativity with purpose, helping nonprofits crush their goals while rallying communities to get involved. The result? Major dollars going to missions that matter.
