Renee Zau
CEO & Co-founder

DonationMatch is the result of Renee Zau’s unique perspective as both a silent auction chair and a multi-unit franchisee managing regional marketing. Since 2003, she has volunteered with numerous nonprofit fundraising events each year, giving her firsthand insight into the inefficiencies and missed opportunities surrounding in-kind donations. It was during her time on auction committees that she recognized both the synergies and the challenges between donor companies and event organizers.

Renee’s mission with DonationMatch has always been clear: to create the win-win tool she wanted for PR and marketing—one that makes in-kind giving easier, more strategic, and more impactful to grow visibility and trust without draining time or resources.
