Ashby Foltz
Founder

Powering everyday generosity at Charityvest.org, the charitable giving platform for any + every donor. Charityvest donors commit to give money to charity by making contributions to their fund. They give that money away over time to any of the 1.4 million charities on our platform, get just one tax receipt, and all their giving is completely fee-free. Our work stops when every last person has their own free charitable giving fund, and they can't give any more than they already do.
