The Dory Foundation aims to make starting a charity as cool and rewarding as launching a startup. Fast, efficient and ambitious charities are rare. That is why we want to support them and ensure securing funding is not an obstacle to their impact.
Whether you’re looking to kick off a new charity or need a boost to grow your existing organization, they want to help.
This opportunity is designed for:
- Individuals under 25 who have impactful project ideas but lack the funds to get started.
- Those who are ready to launch a charity but are financially tied up with day-to-day jobs.
- Charities in operation that are ready to expand their work but need financial support to do so.
Dory Foundation is a private foundation headquartered in the United States. They currently plan to distribute 2$ million.
