Mission Statement
Founders Pledge is a global community finding and funding solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. We’re shaping the future of philanthropy, ensuring that the wealth generated by technology goes to those who need it most. We empower over 1,600 entrepreneurs who have together pledged more than $4.2 billion to charity to give more, and give more effectively.
About This Cause
A donation to Founders Pledge has a philanthropic multiplier effect. By supporting Founders Pledge and increasing our capacity to provide our research and advisory services, you enable us to drive more money to the most effective charities. Founders Pledge recognizes that by committing a portion of your personal resources to charity, a community of entrepreneurs can have outsized impact in levelling the global playing field. We’re helping entrepreneurs to think critically about their impact on the world. The process is very simple; entrepreneurs pledge to donate a portion of their current or future liquidity to charity. Pledgers become part of a global community which come together through regular dinner, forums and working groups to learn and explore key cause areas with the experts in their field. We advise our community on the most effective giving opportunities and our global giving infrastructure makes it quick and easy, to deploy funds globally to those who need it the most. We’re talking about eliminating extreme suffering, improving educational outcomes, saving lives, averting climate change… Serious problems we can aim to solve through effective organizations. You cannot see a world in which everyone gives back, where we can make a dent in the world’s biggest challenges if you give alone and give privately. We have to do this as a movement. Pledging publicly creates an impact far beyond the physical gift – you become an inspiration for others to do the same. Regarding the pledger’s charity choice, we simplify the world of philanthropy through data and quantitative analysis. We can link up the world’s leading charity experts, both practically and philosophically, to members who might be interested in their work. This would be almost impossible to do solo, especially with international causes which require more extensive vetting. Being data driven means being motivated by what the data says and caring about research. It defines your goals from the outset and encourages you to be responsive to whatever the research says will best achieve these goals, even if it differs to expectations. It sounds obvious, but in the world of philanthropy this scientific approach is still somewhat radical. People too often have preconceived ideas of what they think will work and don’t even think to look at what the data says will be most effective. We’ve seen examples of projects that get huge amounts of funds and critical acclaim, yet evidence shows they do active harm to local communities. Being data driven allows us to avoid this to achieve the best outcomes for others. We help maximize the impact of every donation. Where will this project lead us? Well, at the very minimum we’d like Founders Pledge, or donating generally, to be part of the standard procedure for all founders, investors and VCs.
