Who We Are
MrBeast wants to make the world a better place.
With this goal, he founded Beast Philanthropy, a 501(c)3 organization that exists to leverage the power of social media to raise funds and help charitable causes around the world.
Beast Philanthropy’s mission is to teach everyone to stand up for another and stop abdicating responsibility to others. Using the power of social media and one of the world’s largest megaphones, we believe we can teach an entire generation to care a little bit more than the generations before them and to truly have an impact on the world, through the actions that we inspire rather than just purely the actions we try to undertake ourselves.
We strive to be a formidable force for inspiring others to have a sustained impact and become advocates and agents who drive positive change within their communities.
This is how true change is made.
When the idea to start this channel first began, Executive Director Darren Margolias, widely known for his instrumental role in driving the philanthropic achievements of MrBeast, consulted with multiple experts on social media. He was told that the channel would be an abject failure due to the 'boring' and 'depressing' nature of the content. However, through Beast Philanthropy’s dedication to creative storytelling and purposeful philanthropy, the YouTube channel now boasts over 25,000,000 subscribers and is growing at an exponential rate.
We and our supporters are silencing the doubters and proving that #KindnessIsViral.
