Philanthropic Leader Joins Network of Giving

PHOENIX--()--The Network of Giving today announces Mike House as Philanthropic Advisor.

The Network of Giving is a powerful, hyper-local digital Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. It fosters a community-minded movement of giving by connecting local consumers with participating merchants. Local non-profits benefit from merchant defined and funded micro-donations when the consumer pays with their existing debit or credit cards, creating efficiencies in digital fundraising for the non-profit.

Mike House is a philanthropy leader with over 30 years of experience in healthcare, education, social services, and arts & culture sectors. Most recently, Mike served as President and CEO of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, leading a team that generated over $45M a year in donations with over 100,000 supporters.

Mike was recognized internationally by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals as the Network Person of the Year in 2019 among leaders from 170 Children’s hospitals in North America. In 2022, Mike was recognized by Young Presidents’ Organization, a global leadership community of extraordinary chief executives, as the Global Impact Award Honoree representing Canada. He received the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Medal in 2022.

As the Network of Giving’s Philanthropic Advisor, Mike is supporting market activation with non-profit partners, ensuring maximum value while creating measured impact in the community.

“I look forward to working with the Network of Giving team to bring this game-changing platform to market, starting in Seattle,” said Mike House. “With the Network of Giving we will provide new and innovative ways of giving that will further strengthen the long-term sustainability and viability of local non-profit partners.”
