Founders Pledge, established in 2013, is a UK-based nonprofit operating within the intersection of Financial Services and philanthropy. The organization is designed to connect entrepreneurs with impactful charities, guided by the philosophy stated in their slogan: "We exist to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and the charities making the most difference in the world."
The unique model of Founders Pledge encourages members to commit a small percentage of personal proceeds to charities post-exit. Emphasizing evidence-based and transparent giving, the organization not only facilitates these charitable actions but also supports them with comprehensive research and consultancy.
Since its inception, the company has gained traction by maintaining free membership and covering all operational expenses, ensuring that 100% of donations reach target charities. In March 2018, Founders Pledge received a $3.22M grant investment from Anthro Ventures, highlighting both financial sustainability and innovation potential.
