DonateDirect is the philanthropic arm of Spectrum Settlement Recovery, a financial services company that helps Fortune 2000 businesses recover funds they are owed. During the course of their work with businesses, the founders of Spectrum saw that a large percentage of consumer entitlements from technology settlements go unclaimed, and realized there was an opportunity to aggregate these claims towards a greater good.DonateDirect was founded to enable schools, religious organizations and non-profits to access a huge, untapped revenue source: billions in unclaimed funds owed to their donors from consumer technology settlements. The lion's share of these funds go unclaimed because individuals either don't know about them, or don't know how to apply for them. Our vision is for millions of dollars in unclaimed funds to get directed to organizations across the country each year, putting the money towards worthy causes that make our planet a better place for everyone. Our mission is to empower you to give your donors an easy way to access the funds they are owed, in a way that allows them to designate that the funds be directly donated to your organization. Using the DonateDirect program for a single settlement, organizations raised over $6 million in incremental funds they would not have received otherwise. Individual organizations raised as much as $388,000. This settlement was our first.
