Hi, I’m Kelsea!

I am the founder of Presents with Purpose. I spent 11.5 years helping build the GoFundMe brand from the ground up, focusing especially on bringing our community stories to life.

Through that work, I met some of the most inspiring and revolutionary community leaders who are committed to taking action toward causes they care about, and making their communities a better place. Those amazing people instilled in me a desire to someday do the same.

When I sat down to think about what causes I care about, most of them are already being addressed effectively and at scale: housing, food security, education, etc. So I thought, where could I help fill a gap here? And I landed on joy.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for organizations focused on providing the essentials—that is important work that helps billions of people survive. Presents with Purpose was created to partner with those critical organizations in an effort to help those same people thrive—because I believe that joy is a human right, too.
