Health
Subsidized health coverage and access to quality care through the building years.
Every founder you admire carried more than the world ever saw. The Ide8 Founders & Funders Foundation exists so the next generation builds with a community at their side—a charitable foundation created by founders and funders, for founders.
We provide health coverage, mental-health support, emergency assistance, and the human infrastructure of the entrepreneurial craft—built by the community, for the community, and funded by those who remember what it took.
Actors have had theirs since 1882. Musicians since 1989. Now founders have a place of their own.
Subsidized health coverage and access to quality care through the building years.
Therapy, wellness, crisis support, and a peer community—because the mind doing the building is the most valuable asset in the company.
Emergency hardship grants and career-transition support between ventures—a hand, exactly when it matters.
In time: retirement, education support for founders' children, and senior care—the full net, the way every great profession cares for its own.
We are living through the largest creation of founder wealth in history—and research has given us the clearest picture yet of how heavy the builder's load can be. For the first time, our community holds both the resources and the understanding to care for its own. The moment to build the net is now.
The great foundations of history protected their craftspeople, trained the next generation, and made sure knowledge—and the people who carried it—endured. The Ide8 Founders & Funders Foundation rebuilds that idea for the people who build the modern world: founders, depending on each other.
If you've built, you know the chapters that never made the highlight reel. If you've funded builders, you know the human effort behind every return. Your contribution is a permanent, perpetual, tax-deductible gift to the safety net of every founder who comes after you.
Every gift counts, at every level — and every gift is 100% tax-deductible under our 501(c)(3) status. Because every founder deserves a place to land.
The actors built theirs in 1882. The musicians in 1989. Ours begins now. Build it with us.
