Founders Pledge gGmbH

Founded in 2015, Founders Pledge includes 1,700 entrepreneurs who have pledged a combined $7 billion to charitable causes. SVB has supported Founders Pledge's work since 2019, including a $1 million seed donation to support Founders Pledge's top recommendations for high-impact Covid philanthropy in 2020, known as the "Covid-19 Global Impact and Innovation Fund". Including the seed donation, the impact fund raised $4.6 million which was donated to evidence-based initiatives to stop the spread of Covid, mitigate the social and economic effects of the pandemic, and prepare for future pandemics.
