Founders Pledge is a global nonprofit, founded in 2015, that helps entrepreneurs maximise the impact of their charitable giving. The organisation operates from offices in the US, UK, and Germany, and has built a community of over 2,200 members across more than 45 countries. Members have collectively pledged over $12.9 billion to charity, with $1.7 billion already deployed to high-impact causes.
The organisation's model rests on three core services: rigorous research to identify high-impact funding opportunities, personalised advisory for entrepreneurs, and streamlined giving infrastructure that includes an in-house Donor Advised Fund. There are no membership fees; the organisation is funded by donors who support its mission. In 2025, for every $1 invested in Founders Pledge's operations, $31.1 was donated to the charitable sector.
