Stand in the gap
Our existing financial and economic systems create barriers that prevent impact capital from reaching the communities that need it most.
We understand that these barriers do not stem from a scarcity of capital, but increasingly from the need for its creative and effective deployment.
How we move capital
We have a suite of tools from impact-first investments to direct cash assistance to integrated capital that help our partners move money strategically
—supporting people in meeting basic needs, achieving greater economic mobility, starting new ventures, advancing climate justice, and creating opportunities for long-term wealth-building.

"Impact Charitable has been a wonderful partner on The Christensen Fund's Program Related Investments. They are creative, flexible, and responsive. Their willingness to work through difficult issues as they arise makes the process an enjoyable learning experience for everyone. The structure of our deals is more beneficial to our partners because Impact Charitable is as dedicated to our partners as we are."
"Impact Charitable has been a great partner to Social Venture Partners Denver from co-creating the Left Behind Workers Fund to facilitating impact investments for our social Impact Investor Group to be able to collaborate on investments in the Denver community. IC is not only a pleasure to work with but is very detail-oriented and customer -focused during the due diligence process. This focus helps reduce the workload for both the investor and the investee."
"Through our partnerships with leaders across the country, we are working more and more with community driven capital strategies that layer together private investment, philanthropic investment, and grant capital. The partnership with Impact Charitable is a great new tool to help move more capital, more quickly to the communities they serve."
"For those of us interested in making catalytic investments, using a DAF just makes sense, and Impact Charitable makes it very easy. Recently, I was interested in investing in a Reparative Notes offering with Black Farmer Fund and reached out to Impact Charitable to see if they could help facilitate this. Not only did the Impact Charitable team take care of all the details for my investment, but they also shared the opportunity with others who might be interested, leading to multiple other DAF-holders investing together. This felt like such a win-win-win. Less admin (including tax paperwork) on my side because the loan is held in a DAF and less admin on the side of Black Farmer Fund because multiple lenders are grouped together through Impact Charitable. And, most importantly, it's so meaningful to know that my loan played a role in mobilizing others to support an organization I care about!"
"We at Gary Community have partnered with Impact Charitable across a range of innovative and pioneering initiatives and capital tools. The organization has been a critical ally and a powerful part of the impact capital ecosystem in Colorado. We also love that the team at Impact Charitable is passionate, professional, and dedicated to making a difference, consistently going above and beyond to ensure the success of each project. Their unique and strategic approach to community development has not only strengthened our partnership but has also inspired us to think more creatively and holistically about our own initiatives."
