Give like you have a team of grantmakers
The organisations solving the problems you care about are busy doing the work, not finding you. Hundreds of funders have already found them. Causebase brings you their research.

The solutions exist. They cannot reach you
Change in our lifetime is possible. The organisations making it happen are out there, doing the work, beyond the reach of any one giver.
Tens of thousands of charities are working on the problems you care about, and only a handful can reach any one giver. Causebase puts every one of them in view, with research from many foundations under their own names, so your own judgment has more to work with.
01
~30,000 organisations solving the problems you care about
Across every cause, every state, every size. Busy doing the work.
02
A handful can reach you
The ones in your circle, or that found the time to ask.
Discover researched charities. Save a shortlist. Give alongside others.
Find the organisations that cannot find you
The one driving change on your problem may be in another state, outside your circle, coming at it from an angle you had not considered.
Save a shortlist matched to you
Each organisation comes with the reason it fits and what named foundations say about it, kept for whenever you are ready to give.
Give, and see who gives with you
Give as you always have, and see which foundations and givers already back the same organisations.
Ten minutes to set up. No expertise needed.
01
Answer a few questions about the change you want to see
Your giving profile, in your own words.
02
a handful
Causebase matches you to researched charities
Each with the reason it fits and who already backs it.
03
You give, as you always have
Causebase is not in the middle of the money.
The problems worth solving in this lifetime will not be solved by one giver.
They get solved when many people, each giving in their own way, can see the same organisations and find each other. Causebase is where the organisations with the solutions get found.

Pool around a need
A funder opens a syndicate around one organisation’s need; others join, deal by deal.
What Causebase is, and is not
Research from foundations of different worldviews, each under its own name.
Not a rating house. Nothing is scored or ranked. Foundations of different worldviews publish under their own names and you decide.
Every DGR1 organisation, each page built the same way from public sources.
Not a fundraising platform. Organisations cannot pay to appear, be promoted, or edit what is said about them.
A shortlist you review with your family, or with your adviser if you have one.
Not a replacement for the people you trust. The research is on the page. The judgment stays with you, your family and your adviser if you have one.
Quiet. You hear from Causebase only when you ask to.
Not a mailing list. No appeals, no campaigns, no reminders to give.
Questions givers ask
- Do I need an adviser to use it?
- No. If you have one, they can work in it with you.
- What does it cost?
- Founding partners set the price during the pilot. Get in touch and we will tell you where it stands.
- Who is behind it?
- 10x10 Philanthropy, a DGR1 not-for-profit that has researched and backed early-stage charities for eleven years. On Causebase it is one contributor among several, under the same format and terms as every other foundation.
- Can a charity see or change its page?
- Profiles sit behind a login for verified givers. A charity cannot write or edit its page, cannot pay to appear, and can ask us what is on it.
