Some of our projects, partners, and organizations we support
Listen to Ryan O'Donnell's story as a serial social entrepreneur where he covers how he broke a Guinness World Record for the largest food drive, built multiple national fundraising campaigns, and helped more than 30,000 people land their dream job.
Technology is a powerful force for good. We unlock its potential to make a difference.
North Carolina is one of the most food insecure states in the county. We helped set a new Guinness World Record for the largest food drive in 24 hours at a single location. In 2011, we raised 559,885 pounds of food to benefit the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC. Over a three year period, we raised over one million pounds of food for North Carolina families. We still hold the world record so if you're reading this please try to break it!
During the pandemic, PledgeMyCheck.org built a national movement to encourage financially stable people to donate some or all of their stimulus checks directly to people in need. Neighbors helped neighbors get through the pandemic providing direct cash assistance to help people buy food, stay in their homes, and stay safe. In just a few weeks, people in 42 states raised over $300,000 in direct aid.
Launched a financial wellness platform for employers that pairs their employees with Certified Financial Planners armed with powerful tools to help members make their money work as hard as they do.
Employee referrals are the #1 way to get hired. EmployUs was founded to help people land their dream job. Over 30,000 people got hired on our platform across hundreds of employers like Delta Air Lines, Chick-fil-A, and the YMCA. EmployUs was named a "Top Startup to Watch" by NC TECH, had raised $1.5M in venture capital funding, and was acquired by Hireology in the summer of 2021. Ryan served as the founder and CEO of EmployUs since launching it as a student at NC State through its acquisition.
