Meet Our Team
Who exactly is behind Giving Assistant? A fast-growing, diverse team obsessed with giving back! Giving Assistant was founded in 2014 by five human beings who wear their big ol' hearts on their sleeves with one single mission: to transform everyday shopping into charitable giving. We're a mission driven, for-profit, Certified B Corp company and we aim to have a positive social impact across the globe. Our team has grown tremendously over the years. Here are a few facts about our team that we're pretty proud about:
- Combined, we have over 35 years of experience working at nonprofits.
- 14 of us have volunteered abroad or created a fundraiser for a nonprofit.
- 3 of us have worked at other B Corps.
- We enjoy 2 company-wide volunteer days per year.
- 12 of us have pets. (Ziggy is Chief Belly-Rub Officer!)
- 100% of us use Giving Assistant to support a nonprofit.
