About Glow
We're building the infrastructure behind community-led philanthropy - so creators, brands, and communities can turn influence into lasting, measurable impact.
Charitable giving in the U.S. hit $592.5 billion in 2024. But here's the problem: most of that money flows through systems our generation doesn't trust. Vague impact reports. Black-hole donations. No way to see where your dollar actually went.
We built Glow to fix that.
Glow is a giving platform designed for the way people actually connect today - through creators, communities, and shared purpose. We make it possible for anyone with an audience to launch a branded giving fund, partner with vetted nonprofits, and show their community exactly where every dollar goes.
No red tape. No gatekeepers. Full transparency.
"Glow is the feeling you should have when you experience the power of generosity."
How it Started
Glow started with a conversation between two friends in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC.
Lucas Parry and Liz Edwards shared a frustration: they wanted to give - really give - but the existing systems made it feel impersonal, opaque, and disconnected. They knew they weren't alone.
So they built something different. A platform rooted in what they call REAL generosity - Revolutionary, Engaging, Authentic, and Limitless. A system where giving isn't a transaction. It's a movement.
