# About GiveWise

Our founders, Tammy and Dan Kyte, began their journey in 2018 with a simple phone call that changed everything. Motivated by the profound realization of the impact they could create, they made the bold decision to close their successful home building business of 15 years and embark on a new charitable adventure. Combining their expertise in finance, technology, and philanthropy, they created GiveWise—a platform designed to spread generosity and bridge the gap between donors and charities. Today, GiveWise stands as a beacon of hope, simplifying generosity and empowering communities across Canada.
