Giving Needs a Revolution: Why We Built Glow to Be Social, Authentic, Fun, and Easy

Lucas Parry | Posted on 3 February 2025 |

Giving today kind of sucks. Trust in philanthropy is at an all-time low, and we’re left wondering—does my donation even make a difference? We believe giving should feel good, not frustrating. That’s why we built Glow, a platform designed to make generosity Social, Authentic, Fun, and Easy (SAFE).

With Glow, giving isn’t just a transaction—it’s a movement. It’s about community-powered impact, radical transparency, and making generosity an experience worth celebrating. Whether you’re joining forces with creators, brands, or passionate people, Glow ensures your giving is meaningful, exciting, and effortless.

The future of giving starts now. Join a Glow community today and experience generosity the way it was meant to be.

Trust & Accountability: The Heartbeat of Glow’s Mission

Lucas Parry | Posted on 30 January 2025 |

Trust isn’t just important in philanthropy—it’s everything. Yet, in today’s world, skepticism runs high. We don’t trust the news, we don’t trust big institutions, and too often, we don’t trust nonprofits. How many times have you donated, only to feel like your money vanished into a black hole? No updates. No transparency. Just a transaction, not a relationship.

At Glow, we’re changing that. Our Down to the Dollar™ Promise ensures that every donation is tracked, every impact is visible, and every nonprofit is held accountable. From real-time project updates to our Glow Score™ vetting system, we make sure your generosity translates into real, measurable change. Because giving shouldn’t be a leap of faith—it should be built on trust.

Join us in setting a new standard for philanthropy: radical transparency, real accountability, and impact you can actually see.
