About

I started Riplify to create a new model of how the worlds of business and public service could achieve a more symbiotic relationship, driven by a shared vision of community togetherness, teamwork, and general kindness.

After years of observing how the two were, in a way, competing against one another, I wanted to find a pathway to somehow reduce the unnecessary friction I was seeing and transform this disparate existence into one of unity. I’m excited to announce that what we’ve launched provides a platform where business goals and community initiatives are not at odds with one another, but support each other.

Riplify was created from the intersection of two lifelong experiences: three decades in the merchant services industry and a deep personal commitment to nonprofit organizations. After witnessing how payment processing generates predictable, recurring revenue for businesses, I recognized a stark contrast with nonprofits, which often rely on time-intensive fundraising events, grants, and donations to sustain their missions. This inspired a simple but powerful question: What if nonprofits could benefit from the same recurring revenue model that has made merchant services so successful?

What if nonprofits could benefit from the same recurring revenue model that has made merchant services so successful?

The result is Riplify, a simple way to convert everyday credit card transactions into recurring monthly funding for nonprofits without increasing costs or requiring changes in customer behavior. Businesses simply use Riplify as their merchant service provider, designate a nonprofit partner, and Riplify shares 50% of its net revenue with that organization. As more businesses participate, nonprofits gain reliable, scalable funding that complements traditional fundraising, strengthens community partnerships, and allows organizations to focus more on their mission than on constantly raising money. At its core, Riplify transforms everyday commerce into ongoing philanthropy, making every purchase an opportunity to create lasting community impact.

Thus, combining the business and public service worlds, for the good of all communities.
