About GivingTree

GivingTree works with impact investors, NGOs, and purpose-driven business teams — building the communications, strategies, research, and relationships that move their work forward.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

GivingTree is bigger than me in every way that counts — except official headcount, at least for now.

My name is Matt, and I’m the one behind GivingTree’s work.

I use “we” around this site because GivingTree is a vision, a community, and a set of values I believe in. It’s just my hands creating it right now.

What I care about, and what GivingTree is built around, is using communications, research, strategy, and human connections to accelerate the impact economy — impact investors, NGOs, sustainability teams, and purpose-driven businesses.

GivingTree wouldn’t exist without a community of incredible collaborators across the U.S., Brazil, and beyond. If you’ve worked with me, you know that.

I’m glad you’re here. Follow along on Substack and LinkedIn, or reach out directly.

See you out there,

— Matt
