Online Pioneers

While raising money is nothing new, the rapid growth in online giving has changed the fundraising sector tremendously. Artez has been pioneering — and leading — in this area of philanthropy for almost ten years.

In 1999, we developed the first-ever electronic tax receipt to be recognized by Revenue Canada, working with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. We also developed the online system for workplace giving used by United Way organizations across Canada and the US. We’re proud of our history and excited to continue paving the way for new innovations in philanthropy.

Driving Evolution

Building great tools is something we love to do — but it’s not all we do. At Artez, we seek to actively shape the way that fundraising is done in and for the not-for-profit sector. As fundraising visionaries, we look for ways to open up new sources of funding for our clients, and ways to make it easier for citizens to engage with the charitable sector.

Our aim is to have a measurable and sustainable impact on philanthropic activity in Canada, and this drive to make a difference is what separates and defines us.

Results-Driven

We have deep experience in the fundraising sector, and we develop our tools to reflect what we know about what works. Recognizing that “people give to people”, the Artez Solution makes it easy for our clients to turn their closest supporters into their biggest advocates, by sharing their passion with others.

Always looking to improve, we also analyze data and monitor trends. Armed with what we learn, we help clients to become more effective communicators, and to influence giving behaviours. The result? They’re able to raise more money with our tools and expertise.

More Than Just Technology

Artez is proud to have a team of skilled strategists, in addition to our talented developers. Our strategic experts work with clients to breathe new life into old campaigns, and to create and execute new ones. We also specialize in creating engagement strategies, whether for the media, volunteers, or corporate partners.

We actively facilitate cross-sector and cause-specific partnerships, because we believe in the strength of combined resources and networks. And to better serve our clients, we actively build relationships with the leading organizations in the fields of social marketing, online branding and communication, and event planning.
