How the Foundation works

Two programs. One charitable home.

The Glow Foundation receives, governs, and grants every contribution made through both programs, so creators never have to run a nonprofit of their own.

PROGRAM 01

Community Funds

A creator’s own tax-deductible community fund. Their followers give with them around a shared purpose, through one-time and recurring giving, vetted grantmaking, and stories that bring supporters back.

PROGRAM 02

Creator Response Network

An opt-in network of creators who rally their communities around verified needs when disaster strikes. Gifts go to vetted local partners, and supporters see what happened next.

The world's shared goals

Move more capital toward the world's shared goals.

Our mission is to accelerate capital flow toward the Sustainable Development Goals by empowering the next generation through collaboration, education, and innovative financial solutions.

The Sustainable Development Goals give the world a shared framework for tackling poverty, hunger, health, education, inequality, climate, and other urgent challenges. Community giving is how we help move capital toward that work.

The goals are global. The work happens through specific programs, nonprofit partners, and communities.
