Jeff Golby

CEO & Co-Founder, WellFunded

Jeff has sat on every side of the philanthropy table. He was part of the founding team at Charitable Impact, Canada's first online DAF, helping scale it from $3M to $115M in assets.

He's advised Canada's wealthiest families on complex charitable gifts, led a peer-to-peer fundraising technology startup, and spent a decade as CEO of Acts for Water, one of Canada's oldest clean water charities. These experiences gave him firsthand insight into the infrastructure gap between generous donors and the charities doing the work, and the conviction that technology could close it.
