There is no upfront cash cost to donate. The donation is equity only and exercised at the time of your exit.

The trick to making a big impact in philanthropy is to be like Warren Buffett and for each dollar / Euro you donate, make sure this triggers 9 dollars / Euros to be donated from someone else. 

When you agree to donate 1% or half of 1% of your equity to charity via Founders Foundation this comes from ALL the shareholders in your company not just you. So if you own 10% of your company at exit, for each dollar / Euro you donate, 9 more will be donated coming from your VCs and other shareholders in the cap table.

When you agree to donate equity to Founders Foundation we leverage that donation to build momentum which will result in many other CEOs and boards following your lead and donating more equity resulting in a significant multiplier. We will brag about your donation in our quarterly newsletter profiling your company as a donor which will be emailed to thousands of VCs, CEOs, heads of M&A at acquisitive companies, bankers, journalists and other important members of the high-tech ecosystem. Not only is this valuable PR, but sets an example for others to follow and builds momentum enabling us to raise more cash to tackle serious problems our governments fail to resolve. 

When you donate with us you formally become a member of an exclusive community which may bring positive change to your organization or personal career. We are planning a series of Founders Foundation events we expect to become important parts of the high-tech entrepreneurial calendar.

Our unique model makes giving easy, adds value to your current venture, your next venture, your business and personal networks.

Funds are only transferred to your selected charity / charities on the day your ship comes in from an IPO or sale of your company.
