Donations to charities are investments in our collective future — so what if we treated them that way? #Causeway enables donors to create a giving portfolio of causes they care about. Choose the cause areas that matter to you and feel secure that the recipient organizations are effective and legitimate. With this launch, we are rolling out 6 managed charitable funds: Hunger, Homelessness, Animal Welfare, Global Health, Global Poverty, and Education.
