The Grateful Giving Advisory Council is a group of business, nonprofit and societal leaders who strongly believe in the Grateful Giving mission and who, in collaboration with our Board of Directors, help to shape Grateful Giving's strategy and support our growth.

Join Our Team

Volunteers

Our vision is that every time society spends money, a portion is used to provide food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and help for others in need.

Grateful Giving's software makes this as easy and automated as breathing.

Who is Grateful?

Simple Concept, Big Mission

The first version of the Grateful app was launched in March, 2019, by Matt Ostanik. Since then, the team has grown into a passionate group of developers, marketers, and business strategists who believe in using technology to create meaningful impact. We have team members based around the country.

What Makes Grateful Unique?

We are a company founded on values of giving and doing good in the world. Leveraging our team members' talents, technology, and business acumen, we are able to bring our vision to life and into the hands of people around the world. Grateful is a Certified B Corporation (public benefit company; a "B corp"), which means we also are formally committed to donating more than 20% of our profits to charity each year.

Our ‘Why’

At our core, we believe business and technology should have moral purpose and create positive change in the world. Our platform does more than connect organizations in need with people who can give — it also creates community, unites people with a common purpose, and allows individuals to share their values and charitable interests with others.
