Dominic Finelli

Principal Advisor and Director of Advisory Services

Bio

Dominic joined Founders Pledge in July 2021 after building a private philanthropy advisory in New York City.

Currently living between London and New York City, Dominic co-manages the Founders Pledge Global Health & Development Fund and advises EMEA members’ impact-focused giving. Previously, he delivered bespoke advice, built charitable solutions, and directed a cohort of international philanthropists to deploy over $100M to the charitable sector. Earlier in his career, Dominic learned from and lived with community development and NGO leaders across Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America, and South and Southeast Asia while working for nearly a decade on economic, education, health, and wellness improvements.

He is particularly interested in funding opportunities that mitigate existential risks, advocate for future generations, and eliminate unnecessary human and animal suffering.
