We exist to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and the charities making the most difference in the world.
About us
We are a global nonprofit empowering entrepreneurs to do the most good possible with their charitable giving --- Members pledge to give a small percentage of their personal proceeds to the charities of their choice following an exit, and the community also meets up for dinners, forums and talks exploring the latest news at the intersection of charity and technology. Founders Pledge is bridging the gap between the private and social sector, by encouraging entrepreneurs to apply the same rigour and thoughtfulness to their philanthropy as they do to their business. We also provide research, consultancy and support around every donation, so that pledgers can feel confident that their funds are going to charities that are evidence based, transparent, and impactful. Membership and all services provided, including events, online content and research, are completely free, meaning that 100% of every donation made goes directly to the members' charities of choice.

Thank you Headline for partnering on a wonderful evening and hosting us, and Russell Glass for an exciting discussion on how to leverage tech to better support mental health!
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Russell Glass, the former CEO at Headspace, for a curated #founders & #investors dinner to discuss democratizing mental health in entrepreneurship. Not only did we hear first-hand from Russell about his journey and learnings, we also explored the next wave of innovative technologies that can make #mentalhealth support more accessible and affordable for everyone. A huge thank you to Founders Pledge and Emily Hoble for co-hosting an incredible evening with us at the Headline HQ in San Francisco. See you at the next event!

The Founders Pledge team is an incredible group of smart, driven people. There’s nearly 60 of us now and we mainly work remotely, spread across Europe and North America. It’s special when we’re able to get together, especially for our annual offsite. This summer, we bonded, we reflected, and we explored how to work together even more effectively to deliver our ambitious mission!
