Helping people become philanthropists through entrepreneurship, volunteerism, technology and direct impact.
philanthropist.org, Inc. is the public nonprofit home for a long-running mission: to reduce friction in giving and help more people participate in philanthropy at every income level.
We believe giving should be easier, more direct, more transparent and open to everyone.
We focus on market-based, accountable approaches that offer a hand up and reduce overhead.
Our culture encourages people, teams and organizations to compete in generosity and impact.
philanthropist.org began with a Cambridge/Boston founding story and a vision for direct 1-to-1 giving, volunteering and social investing. The public NGO site now serves as the official brochure, governance and recruiting home.
The technology platform is separated into philanthropist.site, while related initiatives such as philanthropist.run and philanthropist.travel remain distinct brands and websites.
