There is no financial exchange that occurs between a Philanthropist and a Charity on WellFunded, and we certainly do not take a percentage of any gift. WellFunded is a marketplace for connecting donors and charities.
WellFunded isn’t a Donor-Advised Fund—we don’t manage charitable assets or issue tax receipts. Instead, we partner with DAFs (like CanadaGives and Abundance) to help their fundholders discover high-impact charities and projects more easily. We provide detailed, standardized Profiles (we call them Portraits) that showcase a charity’s leadership, financials, and core funding needs—so donors can give with confidence and clarity. We also work with Foundations and individuals outside the DAF ecosystem who want a better way to discover and support meaningful impact.
WellFunded is free for charities. You can create your Portrait and share your incredible impact today. In the future, we plan to offer a forever-free tier, along with two premium plans based on the features our community values most. Final pricing will be shaped through conversations with both charities and funders to ensure it’s fair, accessible, and impact-focused. See Pricing Page for full details.
Sites like Charity Intelligence are helpful—and we encourage you to link them in your WellFunded Portrait. However, many donors tell us they want more than ratings. They want to understand your goals, impact, and funding needs—directly from you. That’s what WellFunded is built for: to go beyond third-party analysis and let you share your story, your projects, and your needs in a way that builds real connection and trust.
The Charities Portrait provides an overview of the organization’s operations. Project Portraits reflect a fairly standard grant application. Charities are welcome to fill out as much or as little as they wish to give donors an overview of their activities.
