Want to Fundraise in a Way That Actually Feels Good? Welcome to IdealHive.
IdealHive isn’t your typical fundraising platform. We’re the home of Cluster Events — creative, contagious, community-powered fundraisers that don’t just raise money… they raise spirits.
Whether you’re a nonprofit with a mission to move, a local group with a great idea, or just a kind human who wants to bring people together — we’ve got the tools and the tribe to help you do it.
What Exactly Is a Cluster Event?
Think of it like this: one event idea — like a 5K run, art night, or dance party — pops up in one town… then it spreads. Other people, in other places, host the same kind of event, often on the same day or weekend. A whole network of like-hearted humans, buzzing with purpose.
But here’s the cool part: it’s not random. Every Cluster Event is built around a specific cause, and coordinated by a Cluster Event Manager who makes sure it all flows smoothly.
So if a school in Chicago is hosting a poetry slam to support girls’ education? Someone in Nairobi might be doing the same. A yoga-in-the-park for mental health in San Francisco? Also happening in Barcelona. Same idea, same weekend — multiplied impact.
It’s fundraising with pollination power.
Are You a Mission-Driven Org? We Want to Work With You.
At IdealHive, we’re teaming up with organizations that are already making a difference — and helping them do it at scale.
If you’re doing meaningful work in areas like:
• Education equity (think literacy, access, girls’ education)
• Environmental protection (tree planting, ocean cleanup, sustainability)
• Recidivism reduction (reentry programs, mentorship, restorative justice)
• Mental health & wellness
• Community arts and culture
• Clean water, food security, housing access
• Or, any other worthy cause that benefits community
…we’d love to help you raise funds, grow visibility, and connect with people all over the world who care about what you do.
We provide a platform. You bring the purpose. Together? We get stuff done.
Want to Organize Events Around the World? You Might Be a Cluster Event Manager.
Yes, this is a real thing.
Yes, it’s awesome.
IdealHive is building a buzzing little network of Cluster Event Managers — folks who help coordinate event campaigns across cities, countries, and continents. You’ll match causes with ideas, support hosts in different locations, and help each cluster stay organized, joyful, and on-mission.
You can do it as a gig job, a side hustle, or as part of your work in a nonprofit or community group. You’ll get tools, mentorship, support, and the satisfaction of seeing your efforts ripple across the map.
If you’ve got project management skills, a sense of fun, and a knack for making things happen — this might be your sweet spot.
