In 1975, Pike co-founded the Youth Project in Washington D.C., serving as its associate director.[4] He was subsequently hired as executive director of the Shalan Foundation, based in San Francisco.[4]
Pike founded the Tides Foundation, the first fully staffed donor-advised fund in the United States,[3] in 1976. At Tides, he pioneered the use of donor-advised funds as an instrument for donors to anonymously support philanthropic causes.[2][5]
