For philanthropists, family offices, and wealth advisors
For philanthropists, family offices, and wealth advisors in Europe, giving is notoriously complex, slow, and burdened by legal and administrative friction - especially when money crosses borders. bcause is the philanthropic infrastructure built to solve this.
bcause
We provide Digital Foundation Accounts
Legally robust vehicle
Fast, flexible, and legally robust vehicle for giving. Instead of taking months to establish a traditional foundation, a donor can set up an account in minutes, enabling them to move capital efficiently to the largest universe of non-profits available on any platform.
Multi-asset and impact-weighted portfolio
The funds are invested by leading experts in a multi-asset and impact-weighted portfolio, balancing attractive returns and risk. Once allocated to grantees, they can use bcause to continue to invest the funds, or withdraw at a time of their convenience.
Replaces bureaucratic friction
bcause replaces bureaucratic friction with modern infrastructure, making generosity as simple and effective as it should be.
Global philanthropy is in the midst of its most significant transformation in a generation. Philanthropists who move beyond traditional models are creating greater impact, more efficiently.
bcause offers the modern infrastructure that makes this possible, showing what leaders in giving are already achieving and what anyone can now expect.

Our mission
Luke Kincaid, Partner International & Felix Oldenburg, CEO & Co-Founder
For English-language perspectives on the future of giving, follow our CEOs Substack.
Monthly field notes from inside European philanthropy: why cross-border giving still breaks at the border, what donor-advised funds reveal about a continent without them, and what 500 anonymous donors taught us about generosity. Plus the argument behind Der gefesselte Wohlstand (Captive Wealth), Felix's TEDx talk, and where bcause is heading next.
