Donating Equity: Making Ownership Part of Generosity
What if donating stock was as natural as writing a check? In this episode, Bryce Butler is joined by longtime friend and fellow ecosystem builder Landon Young to explore the untapped potential of donating equity as a tool for generosity, community transformation, and systemic change.
Landon shares his personal journey—from his first company exit and giving experience to co-founding Donate Equity, a platform that helps founders give ownership in their companies to charitable causes. They discuss the nuts and bolts of equity donations, how donor-advised funds (DAFs) can be used more strategically, and how philanthropy can act as society’s most risk-tolerant capital.
This is a conversation about legacy, liquidity, and local impact—and how everyday entrepreneurs, not just tech unicorns, can lead the next generation of place-based generosity.
