Together, the Deed community is doing more good deeds everyday at work, at home, in our neighborhoods, and all over the world.
In 2015, Deed’s founder and CEO Deevee Kashi wanted to give back by volunteering in his local community. Despite his best efforts, he struggled to find opportunities to help, and he thought to himself: “In an age when we are able to easily order cars, food, and products using an app, why can we not use an app to do good in the world?” And with that question, the idea for Deed was born.
What started as a volunteer app serving New York city quickly went viral, with articles in publications, including Vogue and TechCrunch. As people were learning about and using Deed to connect with others and with their communities, they eagerly asked their employers to replace their legacy giving and volunteering software with Deed.
Deed quickly grew into a global enterprise workplace giving, volunteering, and employee engagement platform. Employees and impact admins continue to love our easy-to-use app and desktop product, and word continues to spread. Join us as we expand our community of people doing good deeds!
We are inspired by the employees, impact admins, and nonprofits that use our technology.
We care deeply about our team, our clients, and the local and global communities we serve.
With new product releases every 2 weeks, we constantly innovate to make social impact easier for employees, impact admins,
and nonprofits.
We make sure everyone’s voice is heard, and feedback not just encouraged, but appreciated!

Deed was founded out of a desire to make doing good easy and exciting for a new generation of volunteers. CEO Deevee Kashi came to the realization that our technology-driven world focuses on making selfish pursuits easy, while being selfless remains hard.
After building some of NYC’s top nightlife brands, Deevee began recruiting his network of celebrities and influencers to do good deeds. Finding it very difficult to find local volunteer opportunities, he decided to build an app that made volunteering and donating easy, social, and fun.
By inviting celebrities to soup kitchens instead of parties, he quickly built an enthusiastic community of first-time millennial and Gen Z volunteers looking to make an impact. Some of these same volunteers told their employers about the app so they called to ask for help with their employee volunteer programs. As Deed grew to become the corporate social impact platform for innovative, forward-thinking companies, Deevee was joined by long-time technology wizard, Aske Ertmann, who volunteered through Deed and loved it so much he became CTO, and Steven Liu, a finance and startup veteran searching for purpose.
Supported by incredible partners like Adidas, Airbnb, Stripe, and Box, and by amazing investors like Y-Combinator, Deed’s passionate team of do-gooders now spans 4 continents, and their platform is live in nearly 50 countries. With a growing network of over 2 million nonprofit organizations around the world, Deed continues to maximize the impact of employees and companies by supporting community volunteering, skills-based volunteering, and individual and fund-based donations through cutting edge technology.
