Maximize the impact of your giving
The Founders Pledge Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is the only giving vehicle in the world built exclusively for entrepreneurs, founders, and changemakers to give more, better.
We combine the benefits of a DAF with expert advisory services and research-driven giving recommendations, helping you donate tax-efficiently, simplify your philanthropy, and maximize the impact of every contribution you make.
