How WeDidIt is Quietly Transforming Fundraising—With the Confidence of a 5th Grader?


WeDidIt is a non-profitable organisation,particularly prominent in India,dedicated to fostering volunteerism and leadership qualities through service to humanity.
Fundraising doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, sometimes the best ideas come from the simplest places. That’s the idea behind both WeDidIt—a fundraising platform built for nonprofits—and Fundraise Like a 5th Grader, the book by Patrick Kirby that challenges everything we think we know about asking for money. The magic lies in the mindset: less overthinking, more doing. Less jargon, more heart. That’s exactly how WeDidIt works.
The platform was designed to make fundraising easier—not just for development teams, but for the communities around them. With mobile-friendly donation pages, built-in donor research tools, and peer-to-peer fundraising baked in, WeDidIt removes the barriers that often keep people from giving. It invites participation. It encourages momentum. And like Kirby's book suggests in its early chapters, the most important step is simply to ask—without fear or apology.
One of the book’s central messages is that kids don’t carry the same baggage as adults when they ask for help. They’re honest, direct, and optimistic. In the same way, WeDidIt helps nonprofits get back to those fundamentals. You don't need a massive CRM or complex data pipelines to start. With just a few clicks, you can create branded campaigns, identify your best supporters, and engage them in meaningful ways.
What makes both the book and the platform effective is how they shift the focus from chasing dollars to building trust. Kirby writes about the value of gratitude—that small, specific thank-you moments often have a bigger impact than grand gestures. WeDidIt enables this through features like instant thank-you messaging and real-time engagement tracking, so donors feel seen right away. It’s not about flashy metrics; it’s about connection.
As the book progresses, Kirby also stresses the power of momentum. Just like kids rallying classmates around a science fair project, nonprofits thrive when they invite others to take ownership of the mission. WeDidIt amplifies this through supporter pages and peer fundraising options that multiply outreach organically—tools that don't require technical expertise, just willingness to engage.
By the end of "Fundraise Like a 5th Grader", it’s clear that fundraising isn’t just about money. It’s about energy, clarity, consistency, and curiosity. WeDidIt brings all of those values into a digital platform that’s simple enough for small teams and powerful enough to scale. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to modernize your approach, this is a tool—and a mindset—worth picking up.
