Founders

Deevee Kashi

Founder

At age 24, I helped lead a top hospitality brand, generating $14 million in revenue a year before expanding the brand around the world. Feeling empty after ten years in the industry, I sought to give back but found it incredibly difficult to volunteer. It was then that I had the crazy idea of making doing good both easy and exciting!
