Overview
Capital Impact Foundation is an institutional endowment‑type investor based in Palo Alto that operates donor‑advised Impact Accounts to deploy charitable capital into transformational businesses, charity loans and limited‑partner stakes in real‑estate, private‑equity and venture funds. The firm’s strategy centers on generating social, spiritual and financial returns, allowing donors to receive a 40 % (up to 50 % in some states) charitable tax deduction while the investments grow to fund future giving. Eligible investments include direct equity in impact‑focused enterprises, loans to charitable organizations, and LP interests in funds that meet the foundation’s impact criteria. Impact Foundation handles all paperwork, tax filings and compliance, providing a streamlined, “investment‑free” experience for donors. Returns are either reinvested to amplify impact or distributed as grants to charitable causes. With $2 million in assets under management, the foundation leverages donor talent to address challenges such as human trafficking, extreme poverty and lack of access to the Gospel.
