Giving Compass aims to increase the impact of giving through the development of a set of programs and tools that allow a giver to focus their resources on social issues and charities that are meaningful to them and also are central to delivering on their giving goals.
Over eight months, Giving Compass evolved from a content-focused nonprofit connector into a sophisticated philanthropic infrastructure platform that measurably transforms donor behavior. Beginning with foundational partnerships featuring organizations like Growing Veterans and CHAMPS in May, the organization rapidly scaled to facilitate over $70 million in donor-advised fund distributions by June and influence $40 trillion in fossil fuel divestment movements by July. The trajectory culminated in November's launch of Horizon AI Search with Charity Navigator, representing a technological breakthrough that synthesized years of educational content creation, platform development, and donor behavior insights into an innovative tool that makes strategic giving more accessible than ever before.
