Case Study: Giving Compass achieves rapid, secure social logins and 25% higher signups with Auth0

Giving Compass Uses Auth0 to Make Philanthropy Easier

Giving Compass is a Seattle-based nonprofit that organizes philanthropic information to help donors give with intention and impact. Building a tech-first platform to connect donors, volunteers, and events, the organization needed a robust, secure authentication system that supported social and email logins, met a rapid timeline, and avoided diverting engineering resources from its core mission.

After evaluating providers, Giving Compass implemented Auth0 in under a week, enabling Gmail, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Microsoft logins and passwordless access. The integration saved over 100 development hours (≈$25K), boosted signup completion to 97% (a 25% lift), improved mobile one-click login for half their traffic, and eliminated ongoing maintenance concerns while ensuring strong data protection.
