He is also a contributing writer for Forbes Philanthropy and a Mentor at the Global Good Fund where he helps accelerate the development of high potential young leaders tackling the world’s greatest social issues.
Day to day, Dominic is CEO of a new venture backed FinTech platform which is poised to revolutionize the way people donate to nonprofits, political donations, and crowdfunding campaigns. The company is backed by some of the top investors in the tech world and is supported by many of the nation's leading nonprofits.
Before his current venture, Dominic was Founder & CEO of GVNG.ORG which Forbes called "One of the most revolutionary platforms in the social impact space today." GVNG.ORG is a proprietary venture backed technology company that facilitates the creation of instant charitable giving accounts. Many of the world’s leading public figures & corporations have used GVNG.ORG to start and run their philanthropic projects. Dominic remains the President of the Company today and sits on the Board of Directors. Visit www.GVNG.org to learn more. Prior to running technology companies, Dominic managed philanthropic foundations at Global Philanthropy Group (GPG), a private strategy consultancy which advises high net worth individuals, celebrities, & corporations on impact work. At GPG Dominic advised and ran the foundations for many of the world’s top philanthropists. GPG was acquired by Charity Network in 2017.
In his spare time, Dominic is passionate about helping nonprofits with their fundraising strategy. Most recently he helped structure the fundraising strategy for the #MeToo movement, specifically for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Dominic also partnered with leading National Civil Rights Attorney Lee Merritt in 2020 to create the Limitless Resource Foundation, which is helping support those families who have seen their lives turned upside down after losing a loved one to police violence and social injustice.
In early 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Dominic also started EndCovid-19.org, the first nonprofit project in the United States dedicated exclusively to providing hospitals with emergency PPE. EndCovid-19.org has since donated hundreds of thousands of medical masks & face shields to hospitals, schools, cities, and Native American reservations across the US. Dominic was featured on CBS News to discuss the organization.
