Goodstack, the technology company powering giving for the world's leading companies, is revolutionizing the way the world does good, by connecting companies, employees, and customers through the largest purpose-driven network on the planet. 

We’ve focused our efforts on the biggest challenges and pain points that companies face when giving back. Many companies want to offer discounts or free access to their products for students and educators. But verifying that someone is really eligible, whether they’re a student, teacher, or staff member, is harder than it sounds. Traditional systems are clunky, slow, and often leave applicants frustrated, while companies face high costs, fraud risk, and programs that can’t scale globally. Instead of enabling access, they create barriers.

Goodstack solves this problem. We help companies launch and run educational programs that are seamless, intuitive, and scalable, with tracking and measuring that lets you see your impact in real time.

A verified, global database with unprecedented reach

We’ve built the most expansive database of verified education institutions and education professionals in the world, covering thousands of educational organizations across 235 countries and territories. Whether your program is serving a teacher in San Francisco, a student in Berlin, or a university staff member in Chicago, you can be confident that eligibility checks are quick, accurate, and secure. 

We know education programs often serve more than just one group, so our solution is designed to handle multiple applicant types. Students, teachers, staff members, and administrators can all be validated with efficiency and precision.

Built for scale and flexibility

No two educational discount offerings look the same. Some are simple discount offers for students, others might involve complex criteria over multiple geographies. Goodstack makes it easy to apply customizable rules, so that only eligible participants gain access. 

Integration is also seamless: companies can connect via API for a fully embedded experience, or use our ready-to-launch UI for quick deployment without creating new work for your tech team. Either way, your education program can go live in minutes, instead of months. And approvals can come just as quickly, because we know that lengthy verification processes get in the way of reaching more users. Our platform was designed with ease and efficiency in mind.

Making impact effortless at scale

Goodstack’s goal is more than just efficiency, it’s making a sustained impact. Goodstack’s education programs have higher approval rates, are better at capturing fraud, and with quick response times. That means more students and educators have access to tools that help them learn, teach, and grow. 

We work with companies to co-create their programs at the level of detail they need, and verify information available online to get specifics on both the institutions who are applying for educational discounts (ranging from kindergartens to universities) and the roles of applicants, whether they’re teachers or administrators. This data is captured in our dashboards so you can see exactly who you’re reaching and where they’re based, so you can better tell the story of your impact.

Some of the world’s most recognized brands, like Canva, Asana, and Atlassian, already trust Goodstack to power their education programs. Together, we’re proving that when verification is done right, it doesn’t just remove friction: it unlocks opportunity.

Goodstack's Education and Nonprofit Verification service has dramatically increased our approval rate from below 40% to above 60% while also improving approval accuracy. This ensures that more eligible teachers and nonprofit teams around the world get access to Canva. As a result, we have gained hundreds of thousands of new users while simultaneously lowering our overall cost per user acquisition.

More importantly, this supports our Two-Step Plan by helping more people around the world access Canva's tools — empowering them to create, teach, and make an impact.
