Founders for Good
Founders for Good stands as a catalyst for meaningful change. By connecting ambitious founders with transformative resources, mentorship, and a community of like-minded innovators, we’re building an ecosystem where success is measured not just in returns, but in lives improved and communities uplifted. Founders Forum Group brings together entrepreneurs who believe in paying forward their knowledge and success, creating positive change across the startup landscape. We’re reimagining entrepreneurship as a force for collective good.
Paying it Forward
Born out of Founders Forum Group, Founders Pledge is a philanthropic community of founders, investors, and VCs on a mission to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and the most impactful charities in the world. On joining, members pledge a chosen portion of their exit to charity.
For its 1900+ members, Founders Pledge provides end-to-end giving services, including high-impact charity recommendations vetted by an in-house Research team. Founders Pledge also operates four thematic Funds open to the public, making effective giving accessible in areas such as climate change, AI safety, and biosecurity.
Total Pledged to Charity: $11.9bn
Total Donated: $1.6bn
Members who’ve pledged: 2,100+
“Philanthropy is hugely important to me, but given the limited number of hours in the day, the ability to call on the experts at Founders Pledge is vital. Their personalised advice grounded in impact and the opportunities to meet other like-minded entrepreneurs has been crucial in shaping how I think and act on my giving. ”
