The 42Geeks Foundation
Our global Geeks Tours connect investors, founders, and entrepreneurs with startup and tech ecosystems worldwide, uncovering exciting opportunities for partnership and investment, and fostering meaningful connections that elevate both our Geeks and the local ecosystem players.
Now, we’re taking our commitment to this impact a step further.
The 42Geeks Foundation is a new initiative designed to deepen our impact on our ongoing Geeks trips, and build opportunities for future investment by financially supporting local startups.
OUR Goal
Through this foundation, we aim to support both the operations that make these trips possible, and initiatives that drive long-term growth in emerging tech hubs. Every donation helps us advance our commitment to education, innovation, and community empowerment. We are pleased to offer donors unique opportunities to participate in our educational trips—designed solely to deepen understanding and foster collaboration in the tech community.
$12,000 Donation
By contributing $12,000, you support our ongoing educational initiatives and receive an invitation to attend one of our transformative trips. This invitation is part of our broader educational programming and is offered to enhance engagement with our community and mission. 42Geeks Foundation is a fiscally sponsored project by University Impact, a 501c3 nonprofit organization (EIN 82-1504018). All donations are tax deductible.
Or donate any amount to provide general support to the 42Geeks Foundation!
The 42Geeks Donor-Advised Fund
Alongside the Foundation, we’re also launching the 42Geeks Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) in partnership with University Impact (UI), a 501(c)(3) public charity. The 42Geeks DAF enables donors to contribute to our mission and others in a tax-advantaged way, supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators, or whichever cause is important to the donor.
With these initiatives, we’re not just building connections, we’re building the future.

Amplify philanthropic support
Most DAFs limit donors to giving grants to US-based nonprofits. The 42Geeks DAF allows donors to support all types of social impact organizations, whether they are domestic or international, and regardless of legal structure (non-profit, for-profit, governmental and hybrid organizations).
