“The running of my business takes up the vast majority of my time. Philanthropy is hugely important to me, but given the limited number of hours in the day, the ability to call on the experts at Founders Pledge is vital. ”

“I was introduced to Founders Pledge months, if not years, ahead of when I might otherwise have begun to think about giving. Working through the various giving decisions would have been infeasible on my own. Having a partner through my first major philanthropic contributions was critical.”

“Joining Founders Pledge is one way to commit to sharing future success in a thoughtful way. The team does the heavy lifting of how to make your contribution and how to ensure it has a real impact so you can concentrate on building your business. ”

“Signing up to Founders Pledge was very real because I was negotiating our sale at the time. I gave it very detailed thought and, frankly, it turned out to be a no brainer. What I have been most impressed by is the connection to like-minded, off-the-chart empathetic, thoughtful and in some cases mind-blowingly bright people.”
