Benefunder

Founded in 2013, Benefunder, Inc. operated as a platform designed to bridge the gap between philanthropy and research. The company's mission was to create a more efficient and direct way for donors, foundations, and wealth managers to discover, vet, and fund specific research projects across various fields like health, environment, and technology. It provided a curated list of research opportunities from partner universities, allowing philanthropists to support causes that aligned with their interests. The company has since ceased operations.
