Explore Our Story of Creating a Future Through Giving and Connection.
Stashlete was founded with a simple yet powerful idea: giving should be easy, transparent, and built around you. We saw a world where donors had to visit multiple websites, track down receipts, and navigate confusing giving platforms just to support the causes they love. That’s why we built Stashlete—to put your generosity under one roof, with customized giving portfolios, flexible donation options, and effortless tracking so you can focus on impact, not logistics.
Since our inception, we’ve been dedicated to making philanthropy more accessible for everyone—from individuals giving spare change to organizations driving major change. Our journey has been fueled by innovation, strategic partnerships, and a shared belief that generosity should be as seamless as any other part of daily life. Stashlete isn’t just a platform—it’s a movement to redefine how people give.
