Giving Corps is a network of caring Real Estate Professionals and other local small business owners who have a stake in thier communities as well as our Board of Directors.  Our board consists of the following individuals:

Scott Rudolph:  Mr. Rudolph is a 15 year real estate industry veteran, including an exciting eight year tenure building an award winning global network of real estate professionals and what became under Scott’s tenure “the most viewed luxury real estate website in the world.” Scott says, “There are an estimated 1.1 billion around the world who live on $1 US dollar a day, 800 million are starving and over 1 billion lack clean water. This is an absolute travesty that I felt could be tackled collaboratively. So I chose to marry social connections with this technology in order to assist those who so desperately need help.”

Further, “Never before has a powerful global network of experts aligned at the local level to transform everyday consumer decisions by supporting charity with proceeds from transactions. For the sake of all in need, you must make a heartfelt choice to work with the professionals you’ll find on GivingCorps.com. Each has committed to help others and will work hand in hand to assist causes most important to you.”

Scott is a resident of West Seattle, Washington where he enjoys a busy schedule with his wife and four young children.
