With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 339% Percent, This Marks Virtuous' Fourth Year in a Row on the List
PHOENIX, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Virtuous, the responsive fundraising platform powering today's most innovative nonprofits, is No. 1,290 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.
"Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth year in a row is an incredible honor and a testament to the passion and resilience of our team," said Gabe Cooper, CEO and Founder of Virtuous. "Our growth reflects the trust thousands of nonprofit leaders place in us to help them build stronger donor relationships, grow generosity, and drive greater impact. This year, we've accelerated that mission by delivering groundbreaking AI-powered tools that are giving fundraising teams intelligent virtual teammates—helping them work smarter, personalize engagement at scale, and achieve more with fewer resources. We're proud to be at the forefront of this transformation and excited for what's ahead."
This year's Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

"Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company's tenacity and clarity of vision," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn't just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy."
This recognition caps a milestone year for Virtuous, highlighted by a $100 million growth equity investment from Susquehanna Growth Equity, the release of the 2025 Nonprofit Fundraising Benchmark Report, and the launch of the Virtuous Marketplace. The company also welcomed nonprofit AI pioneer Nathan Chappell as Chief AI Officer and unified its suite of solutions—CRM, Analytics, Volunteer, Raise, and Insights—into a simpler, more connected platform designed to help nonprofits grow giving through personalization, automation, and intelligence. In addition to the Inc. 5000, Virtuous was honored as one of Inc.'s Best Workplaces for the third consecutive year, reflecting its commitment to fostering an innovative, mission-driven culture that supports both its team and the nonprofits it serves.
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
