SEATTLE, WA, May 16, 2023 — Giving Compass, a leading online platform that guides donors toward the latest strategies and giving opportunities to create lasting social change, announced today the appointment of Dale Nirvani Pfeifer as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Pfeifer, the former CEO and founder of Goodworld, brings her extensive experience in leveraging technology to transform the philanthropic landscape to her new role at Giving Compass.
A passionate advocate for using technology to make philanthropy more effective and capable of addressing society's greatest challenges, Pfeifer is poised to lead Giving Compass through its next phase of growth.
