Hausske Family Foundation
The Hausske Family Foundation exists to give with purpose and inspire others to join us in creating meaningful change. We focus our giving primarily in Boise, Idaho, while also supporting select national and international causes that align with our core values.
Our foundation is built on the principle that giving should be a part of daily life and that collective action amplifies individual impact.
Our Story
The Hausske Family Foundation was born from a simple belief: giving should be a natural part of life, not a rare event reserved for the wealthy. After years of working to democratize philanthropy through technology, Jason Hausske and Catie Eyer established this foundation to formalize their family's commitment to social good.
Jason's journey in social impact began with a vision to transform how people give. As the founder and CEO of Cauze, he created a platform that makes philanthropy accessible to everyone. This experience taught us that giving is most powerful when it's social, immediate, and celebrated.
Together with Catie, we're raising our family with the values of generosity, empathy, and civic responsibility at the center.
“What we’re building is bigger than donations. We’re building a culture where giving is as natural as breathing, where generosity connects us, and where every person—regardless of wealth—can be a philanthropist.”
