Fixing the bridge between Charities and Philanthropists: The WellFunded story

‍

Jeff Golby spent a decade as Executive Director of Acts for Water running clean water initiatives in Uganda β€” and far too many late nights on grant applications. That frustration sparked Well-Funded, a platform removing the friction between charities and the philanthropists, family offices, foundations, and donor-advised funds that want to support them. Jeff and Graeme trace his journey from early-stage employee at Charitable Impact to accidental founder β€” sticky note and all. They explore what major donors actually need to say yes, why 74% of grant applications ask the same questions, the importance of branding in philanthropy, and how technology can finally create a better match between mission and money.
