Causecast was formed by Ryan Scott,[3] who - as the co-founder of NetCreations - is widely considered the father of opt-in email marketing.[4] Ryan founded Causecast in 2007 to bring sophisticated technology to volunteer and giving programs. Ryan's commitment to community engagement around social change also led him to form the Impact and Education sections of the Huffington Post with Arianna Huffington.[5]
In August 2019, it was announced that America's Charities acquired Causecast.[6] America's Charities currently manages the giving and engagement platform.

Causecast for Nonprofits, a community impact platform and dashboard for charities to provide their missions, logos, and giving and volunteering needs and opportunities, which then feeds a database accessed by corporate users,[11] continues under America's Charities and is free for nonprofits.
