Support our mission

Unlocking impact at scale

The world’s most pressing challenges—climate change, global health crises, and emerging existential risks—demand solutions that are bold, strategic, and scalable. We believe philanthropy – at every level – can and must rise to meet these challenges.

As a nonprofit organization committed to building the next generation of strategic philanthropists, we offer objective thought partnership to help our members maximize their impact - without charging membership fees or taking a percentage of donations directed to charities.

Our work is made possible by the generous support of individuals, corporate partners, foundations, and in-kind contributors. Thanks to this funding, we’ve built a community of 2,000+ members who have pledged over $11 billion, with $1.5 billion already deployed to high-impact charities and causes around the world.

For every $1 invested in our mission in 2024, $26 was donated to the charitable sector and $16 was granted to our high-impact giving recommendations.

By supporting Founders Pledge, you become part of an impact multiplier—joining a global movement of donors and entrepreneurs who believe in our mission and understand the catalytic power of their support.
