Philantopia’s Unconventional Path to Mission-Driven Fundraising Success
Philantopia, a company supporting nonprofit fundraising, has built its business around a simple principle: helping charities succeed. Founded in 2008 by Mike Hess, the organization takes a meta approach—prioritising mission over industry norms. Their work in travel-based fundraising has grown alongside a commitment to only partner with those who share their values.
Mike Hess launched Philantopia after years of fundraising experience, including a role at Telluride Ski Resort. His goal was to create a business that helped nonprofits raise money through vacation travel packages and prizes. From the start, the company’s culture centred on one rule: only work with partners who truly care about the mission.
Philantopia’s journey reflects a business model shaped by challenges and a clear vision. Their focus on mission-driven partnerships has led to tangible results, from protecting nonprofit funds during COVID-19 to delivering life-saving aid abroad. Today, the company continues to prove that success can be defined by more than just profit.
