Our story
The system we needed and could not buy.
Our team has spent 22 years building supporter databases and the systems behind them for UK charities. Giftease was set up in 2019 to bring that work together. Not tidy sample data: real supporter records, real financial years, real HMRC rules, and the history nobody wants to migrate.
That is where Cascade came from. Not a product built for a market, but the system we needed and could not buy. It is built around how Gift Aid work is actually done, not how a specification says it should be.
Where it came from
The founders built ScanStore, sold to Blackbaud in 2005. The same work produced Frametric, a spin-out of Giftease, which builds the technology behind Cascade.
The founder
Kevin Robson, founder. Giftease is led by Kevin, who has spent 22 years building supporter databases and the systems behind them in the UK charity sector.
