The road to €10k/month for the Foundation

Follow your donation, feel the impact

Most donors never find out what happens to their money after they give. With OpenCharities you do. Your monthly gift goes to local initiatives where it's needed most right now, and you can follow it from payment to outcome.

Become a monthly supporter

You set the amount, we do the work.

  • Put to work every month, automatically
  • Follow every euro to where it lands
  • Back the mission across every cause

You give to the OpenCharities Foundation; each month we choose where your gift does the most.

A new way of giving

The way we raise funds hasn't really changed in the last 20 years. You give, and then you hope. People want to see what happened with their donation, and be part of the journey. So we built something different: one open fund that puts your gift to work where it matters most and shows you what it's doing.

  • The old way

    You give, and then you hope.

    With OpenCharities

    You give, and you see what happens next.

  • The old way

    Money vanishes into overhead and reports no one reads.

    With OpenCharities

    One open fund, every euro accounted for.

  • The old way

    Help is stuck inside one charity, in one country.

    With OpenCharities

    Good flows wherever it is needed, anywhere in the world.

The bigger picture

Giving without borders

The OpenCharities Foundation is built to operate globally: one global fund that anyone, anywhere can give to, and that the Foundation channels to the initiatives that need it most, wherever in the world they are.

Our first goal

Help us reach €10,000 a month

Why this number? As we scale the OpenCharities Foundation we want to stop doing regular fundraisers and focus on pro-actively funding good causes. This is a different way of thinking on how we 'raise' money. To get to that point, we need solid traction and enough funds to fund these new iniatives. At 10k/month, we can do anywhere between 2-10 iniatives a month and that will enable us to show the full potential of our product.

First goal

€10,000 / month

  • Your gift goes to work

    93% of your gift goes directly to a iniative. The 7% that we take keeps the platform running and enables us to double down on our vision. Over time, we aim to lower this platform fee so that even more money reaches the cause.

  • Every gift gets us there sooner

    The faster we reach €10,000 a month, the sooner we're off project-by-project fundraising and funding initiatives directly.

  • In from the start

    Back the foundation before it's easy, while we're still proving it works, and you're a founding supporter.

Founding supporters

The first 250 build this with us

We're looking for 250 people to back the foundation to start out with. We are trying out something new, something that has not been proven yet. And therefore we are looking for our first set of backers that believe in our vision. We don't have a working product yet, but we do have big plans going forward. Are you in?

  • First 100

    Here from the start

    Named on the wall as a supporter who backed us before it was easy.

Founding status stays yours for as long as you keep giving, with first access to the events where we bring this movement together in person.

Our mission

Help us change the way the world gives

We're a startup on a mission: make giving open, accountable, and borderless, so that for the first time you can see your generosity at work. We want supporters who believe giving can be better and who stay for the long run.

Become a supporter

Back the mission with a monthly gift and you help build something bigger than any single cause. Your support flows into one shared fund that the Foundation puts to work where it's needed most: this month dementia care, next a cause somewhere else in the world. You follow every euro as it lands.

Together we're building one growing, open fund that backs the best causes everywhere and shows every supporter exactly where their giving goes.
