Founder Melanie Perkins (melaniecanva)and her husband/co-founder Cliff Obrecht have pledged 30% of their Canva (canva) shares — an estimated $12.6 billion — to the Canva Foundation over their lifetimes, as part of a broader commitment to give away 80%+ of their wealth.
Genius, grit… and now GENEROSITY 🤍
It all started because Melanie noticed how complicated tools like Adobe and Microsoft were for beginners — so she built something simpler. Their motto has always been: “Build one of the world’s most valuable companies. Do the most good we can.”
Today millions use Canva to start businesses, land jobs, and bring ideas to life — many without knowing Melanie has Filipino heritage through her father’s side 🇵🇭
We love seeing success used to create more opportunity for others!
What have you used Canva for? 😍🤍
