About Us
Philanthropia's here to change the world.
We know it's cliché, but we have a simple dream. By making it easy for people to give to the impact areas they care about, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to make a difference. We dream of creating a world where all individuals, businesses, and nonprofits work together to solve real problems.
Together, we can make a difference.
Our mission is to eliminate the friction in philanthropy to solve the world's greatest problems.
To do that, we need to make donating easy and impact transparent to ultimately help donors give to nonprofits that are tackling pressing issues like global warming and pandemic research.
We really hope that by making philanthropy as easy and cost effective as possible, we inspire a new wave of donors to help support the heroic nonprofits around us in making the world an even better place, one that the generations after us will be able to enjoy.

We make philanthropy transparent
By embracing a data-driven approach, Philanthropia makes sure there's complete transparency into the nature and accountabilty of each nonprofit.

We make philanthropy more valuable
We want to eliminate the exorbitant fees that most other donation platforms charge. We charge the bare minimum we can to keep the platform running and would eliminate all transaction fees for donation if we could.

We make philanthropy easy
Impact portfolios both make supporting a cause easy and offer a better way to approach complex problems by supporting multiple nonprofits at once. Our partnerships with brands allow us to reward donors for doing good so creating change never feels like a tradeoff.

We make philanthropy for everyone
By making it easier to give through impact portfolios, Philanthropia empowers anyone to create the change they want to see in the world. You don't need a billion dollars, just a good heart.
Our Values
- Transparency
- Whatever we do, we do so ethically and in a way that all of our stakeholders can be proud of. We're transparent about our goals, our metrics, and our progress. We're also transparent about our mistakes and our learnings.
- Impact
- We're a company that's impact-first. This means that when we can help someone or make an impactful difference in their life - we do. It also means we're not afraid to take risks and we're not afraid to fail.
- Cooperation
- We believe that best practices should always be shared and distributed. We aim to cooperate with all stakeholders: individuals, businesses, and nonprofits to ensure we're all working together to create change.
- The Long Term
- We're longterminists. The lives of those in the future are worth just as much as those today - and the choices we make need to embody that.
Our Family
It truly does take a village. We're grateful for the support of our advisors, employees, and nonprofit partners who have helped us get to where we are today.
