Companies that use Spur

I noticed that Spur users are primarily digitally-native nonprofits and cause-driven organizations. The combination of GiveButter (a fundraising platform) appearing 242 times more often and Constant Contact showing up 81 times more frequently tells me these are mission-based companies focused on donor engagement and community building. The presence of Stripe in 36 companies confirms they're actively collecting online donations and payments at scale.

The pairing of GiveButter with Stripe makes perfect sense for modern fundraising operations. These organizations are running sophisticated online campaigns where donors can contribute directly through their websites. Bugsnag appearing 252 times more often suggests they're running web applications that need to stay reliable during critical fundraising drives. You can't afford downtime during a year-end giving campaign. AccessiBe showing up 93 times more frequently is particularly telling. Nonprofits often prioritize accessibility both for mission alignment and legal compliance, wanting to ensure everyone can participate in their cause regardless of ability.

The full stack reveals these are marketing-led organizations in growth mode. They're not enterprise-scale yet (the company counts are relatively small), but they're investing in professional tools to scale their reach. Yoast appearing 15 times more often shows they're thinking seriously about SEO and content marketing to attract supporters organically. Combined with Constant Contact for email nurturing, I see organizations building sustainable donor pipelines rather than relying on one-off campaigns.

I analyzed these 61 companies and found that Spur's typical customers are mission-driven nonprofits and social service organizations. The vast majority provide direct community services: homeless shelters, food banks, health clinics for underserved populations, disability services, mental health programs, and domestic violence support. A smaller segment includes media companies (The Sun, talkSPORT) and a few tech companies, but nonprofits dominate overwhelmingly.

These are established, mature organizations. The employee counts range from 11 to 500+ staff, with most falling in the 50-200 range. Many explicitly mention decades of operation (South Central Family Health Center has been around for 40 years, Maryhaven notes its long history). They're not scrappy startups. They're stable institutions with significant operations, multiple locations, and federal designations like FQHC status. The few funded companies show grant funding rather than venture capital, reinforcing their nonprofit nature.
