Support our mission

We are an impact multiplier.

An investment in our mission results in significantly more money to the high-impact charities protecting the planet and transforming the lives of people and animals.

For every $1 invested in our mission in 2023, $22 was donated to the charitable sector and $11 was granted to our high-impact giving recommendations.

Our mission is funded by generous gifts from individuals, corporate partners, foundations, and in-kind supporters.

Our funding model

There is no cost to join Founders Pledge. We don’t charge membership fees or take a cut of our members’ pledges.

Not charging fees means we can be an objective thought partner. It allows us to remain singularly focused on empowering more people to give to the most effective charities, so that we can make high-impact giving the norm and create a better world.

“Supporting Founders Pledge as part of our giving strategy is the highest leverage option available from our perspective. Being part of the community alone has had a significant impact on us as people, even before having liquidity. The best thing we could do is to help Founders Pledge reach out to more people in the hope that the simple act of pledging has a positive impact on others.”

“Founders Pledge’s exceptional research and advising have helped us identify high-impact philanthropic opportunities we would've otherwise missed. Being exposed to their expertise has sharpened our understanding and awareness. We’ve benefited tremendously from conversations with founders from the community. Given the impact on our own philanthropy, it was clear that supporting their mission would have a multiplier effect, both for fellow members and for their recommended charities.”

“In 2023, Founders Pledge was at the top of Vox's high-impact giving recommendations, and I particularly liked that they back initiatives in developing countries and some higher-risk ones. I am risk averse, but understand that if we are going to solve the world's most pressing challenges, some promising risks must be taken. Their research, expertise and commitment to effective giving are the reasons I decided to support their mission.”
