ABOUT EMBER
Our Core Principles
CONVENIENCE
By coupling a daily donation with your morning coffee, Ember makes the giving experience completely frictionless.
WARM GLOW
You know that “warm fuzzy feeling” you get when you help someone? With Ember you can have that every day.
COMMUNITY
Charities need you together with your friends and family. Start building your giving community with Ember.
Our
Story
It all started with a passion. Five students who wanted to make a positive impact put their heads together to come up with an idea to help support charities financially.
In depth research and interviews of charities, donors, volunteers, and business illuminated the inner workings and fundamental issues in fundraising operations.
The newfound insights laid the foundation for developing a revolutionary system allowing the public to truly support the causes they really care about.
The relationships built in developing the charitable enterprise also stressed the importance and impact of small, local charities and businesses.
Ember was born from one core mission statement: to make giving meaningful and effortless, enabling charities to focus on what really matters.
With the first iteration complete, the team launched the testing phase to validate and perfect the product; creating an elegant solution to a complex problem.
After six months of hard work Ember is finally here! Join today to make a difference in your community and support the causes you really care about.
THE TEAM
Ember was co-founded by a small but mighty team of master's students at the Dyson School of Design Engineering within Imperial College London. Coming from a diverse set of backgrounds and having followed our own educational journeys, each of us brings a unique set of skills to the table. Yet since we are all Design Engineers, we speak the same language. The synergies in the team allow us to join forces and work towards a single mission.
