Why Funds4Charity?

Simplifying the Fundraising Process

  • Charities spend too much time on grant writing and administrative tasks. Funds4Charity removes these obstacles, allowing them to focus on their missions instead of chasing funds.

Enhancing Donor Engagement

  • We provide donors with pre-agreed, tailored follow-up care, ensuring transparency and accountability. This includes personalized updates—photos, videos, text updates, digital and physical branding, and exclusive naming opportunities.

Building the World’s Largest Charity Movement

  • We’re not just hosting an event; we’re creating a global movement. With the support of our esteemed host committee, we will carefully select 100 impactful charities to be featured next year.

Just as iConnections and Global Alts have revolutionized capital introductions in finance, Funds4Charity will redefine philanthropy, ensuring that nonprofits have streamlined access to the funding they truly deserve.

Funds4Charity is co-chaired by Ron Biscardi and Lacey Abbott, Founder of Kono Agency, Inc., bringing together a team of philanthropic visionaries to build a global movement for impact-driven giving.
