We manage and encourage charitable giving using emerging technologies. Our platform is built onchain and powered entirely by smart contracts, delivering faster, cheaper, and more transparent giving.
Endaoment Inc’s largest recent grant was $25,138,847 to The Denver Foundation, marked “for David Gold’s DAF,” which points to a platform built around donor-advised giving. The foundation describes its model as onchain, powered by smart contracts, with a focus on faster, cheaper, and more transparent charitable giving. That structure shows up in the grant record: many awards are listed as general purpose, alongside targeted support for research, humanitarian relief, and education-related work. Recent grants also include seven-figure support for British Schools and Universities Foundation Inc, Stanford University, Uc San Diego Foundation, Yale University, and Tufts University. These awards suggest a funder that moves between broad charitable distributions and specific institutional gifts, while still using the same DAF-centered infrastructure. Endaoment Inc is classified as a pure DAF provider, makes program-related investments, and operates nationally. Its recent activity includes both very large pass-through grants and smaller awards in the same portfolio, with recipients ranging from university foundations to humanitarian organizations and operating nonprofits.
Endaoment Inc supports academic research through both general-purpose and designated awards. The clearest example is a $1,000,000 grant to the University of South Carolina Educational Foundation for the “A32607 Younger Dryas & Paleoecology Research Fund.” They also gave $999,986 to Tufts University to support the Levin Lab Innovation Fund at the School of Arts and Sciences, and $1,001,945 to the University of Arizona Foundation as a general-purpose award. The foundation also funds humanitarian response. In 2023, it gave $510,972 to the International Committee of the Red Cross and $451,981 to Ukraine Childrens Aid Fund Inc. Education and institutional support appear as another thread, including $536,515 to Women for Afghan Women and $499,985 to Northwestern University for multiple purposes. Across these examples, the pattern is flexible support rather than a single program niche.
Typical grant size sits at $9,975 at the 25th percentile, $19,985 at the median, and $55,650 at the 75th percentile, so the distribution is shaped by many smaller awards and a smaller number of very large grants. The recipient list shows repeat relationships rather than one-off gifts: British Schools and Universities Foundation Inc appears in 2023 and 2025, Stanford University appears in 2023 and 2024, Tufts University appears in 2023 and 2025, University of Arizona Foundation appears in 2024 and 2025, and Project Backboard appears in 2023 and 2025. Endaoment Inc is a pure DAF provider and makes program-related investments. Its own description emphasizes onchain grantmaking through smart contracts.
