The latest acquisition is ClearCourse’s eitgth since it was founded in 2018.

ClearCourse said its move into donations and fundraising will allow it to offer an extended range of products and services to its existing companies’ clients, many of which have fundraising requirements.

It will support the continued development of instaGiv through the provision of operational and financial resource as well as commercial and operational synergies in return.

“The resources we will have access to as part of the Partnership, as well as the opportunities for operational and commercial synergies with ClearCourse’s other companies, will help us deliver on this commitment,” he said.

“We look forward to working with Gerry and the team as we take our business into the next chapter.”
