Founder

Kaili Purviance has spent over two decades helping individuals and families navigate retirement planning, investment strategies, and charitable giving. As a Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP®) he saw firsthand how many donors struggled to find the right organizations that aligned with their values and goals. He founded Mahalo AI to change that.

Mahalo AI was born out of Kaili’s belief that giving should be both meaningful and efficient. Too often, donors want to make an impact but don’t know where to start. With advanced analytics and intelligent matching, Mahalo AI connects donors with high-impact nonprofits that fit their unique interests—whether they’re focused on local community work, global initiatives, or specific cause areas.
