Pledge 1%, the organization that challenges companies to give 1% of profit, product, equity, or time, and Founders Pledge, which invites founders to pledge 2% of their personal proceeds to charity upon exit, are proud to partner to cultivate a community of like-minded leaders and to give founders around the world an easy way to give back.
Pledge 1% and Founders Pledge have been helping transform giving in the tech industry. By working directly with founders and companies, Pledge 1% has created a new model that integrates giving back into the DNA of companies around the world. Founders Pledge is incubating tomorrow’s philanthropists today by providing socially committed tech founders with the research, charity sourcing and inspiring events they need to make confident donation decisions. Together, Pledge 1% and Founders Pledge will provide a seamless solution for both companies and founders to give back and have an even greater impact.
Pledge 1% will refer interested founders and companies (based outside of the United States and Canada) to Founders Pledge as an option for fulfilling their equity pledges. In turn, individuals who take the Founders Pledge will have the opportunity to join Pledge 1% and integrate a culture of giving back into their companies. Ultimately, all donations will be directed to the causes of each donor’s choosing, and pledges will receive access to both Pledge 1% and Founders Pledge’s amazing network and community of leaders.
Bound by a shared vision to enhance philanthropy in the tech sector, Pledge 1% and Founders Pledge are excited to launch this partnership and to help achieve the incredible impact that’s possible when we engage founders and investors to make a difference in the world.
