OpenTithe
Cole Peterson & Sam Fontenelle,
Co-Founders
Summary
Founded by Cole Peterson and Sam Fontenelle, OpenTithe is an innovative giving operating system designed to revolutionize charitable donations by bringing unprecedented transparency and impact tracking to churches and nonprofits . Currently, giving often disappears into a “black box,” leaving donors unsure of where their money actually went and pastors struggling to demonstrate tangible results. OpenTithe solves this problem by consolidating giving portals into a single platform that integrates with existing software and utilizes an AI layer trained on giving behavior.
