Many people are passionate about giving back, but feel they lack the resources and wealth to become a true “philanthropist”—philanthropy seeming exclusive and unattainable. Our mission is to make charitable giving more accessible and impactful for businesses of all sizes and donors of all income levels.
Founded on the idea that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to make a meaningful impact, the Givinga Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 47-4172718) and sponsoring organization dedicated to removing the traditional financial barriers to charitable giving. By reimagining Donor Advised Funds and working with technology partner Givinga, Inc. to offer access to charitable giving experiences, the Givinga Foundation gives brands the opportunity to find new and innovative ways to maximize their community’s impact and better support charities. We believe that with the right tools and technology, anyone can be a philanthropist.
With 30 years in the global asset management industry in the US and overseas, Joe recognized that donor advised funds (DAF) were underutilized and could be used to change the way everyone thinks about giving. He spreads the word about philanthropic technology, believing anyone can be a philanthropist, especially when they leverage all available resources.
