Livingtree, the K-12 engagement company will now deliver two key products: LivingTree Engage - the rapidly growing communication and parent engagement platform (formerly known as LivingTree), and LivingTree Give - A district wide fundraising management platform (formerly Edbacker).

Edbacker was acquired by Livingtree in January 2018. Edbacker is not just a product – we are a response to a problem: America’s educational funding gap, and the lack of technology resources designed for the parents who are tirelessly working to improve the lives of our nation’s students. Edbacker is the user-friendly online platform designed to bring parents,corporations and districts together to fill this funding gap. As the nation’s first platform designed specifically for PTAs and PTOS, districts, and educational foundations, Edbacker makes fundraising, donor management and parent communication easier than ever before.
