TESTIMONIAL
“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!”

Why Choose Us
Key Advantages of Partnering with Impact Charitable
We recognize that each family’s impact goals are unique, and we honor your distinct vision and approach. We offer a wide range of Capital Activation and Economic Mobility services, allowing family offices the ability to support various types of grants, including grants to for-profit impact entities, direct grants to individuals (e.g., emergency cash assistance), and impact-first investments. Our investment options span a range of structures, providing customized solutions to meet your specific needs.
Collaboration amplifies impact. Instead of establishing entities such as LLCs for new collaborations, Impact Charitable provides a more efficient solution through group/multi-donor Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) or Special Purpose Funds (SPFs). These structures allow multiple funders or sources to come together to support specific impact investments or thematic initiatives. We handle tracking and management of individual contributions, while supporting grants and investments via the aggregated fund, ensuring streamlined, effective collaboration.
All of the funds that are held at Impact Charitable are invested for impact – even those waiting to be granted or invested directly into impact organizations. We work with trusted financial partners such as Amalgamated Bank, Native American Bank and Pathstone to make sure every dollar is values aligned.
At Impact Charitable, we have worked in local communities, on national initiatives, and made international investments. We are not defined by a certain geography or impact theme, but we focus on moving capital for impact first across a range of places, organizations, and focus areas.
Our end-to-end support means that we handle compliance, due diligence, structuring and reporting so you can focus on strategic decision-making without the administrative workload.
Creating a donor-advised fund allows for an immediate tax benefit while allowing you to distribute funds over time in alignment with your impact goals.
Foundations seeking to amplify their impact can benefit from Impact Charitable's deep expertise in program-related investments (PRIs), grantmaking, and customized philanthropic strategies. We bridge the gap between capital and community, providing tailored solutions to create systemic, scalable impact.
