Ready to make an impact in your community?
How to Get Started
1
OPEN YOUR ANGEL FUND
To get started, complete the online form to open your donor-advised fund (DAF) through Abundance Capital and select Angel Fund as your fund type.
A few things to know during setup:
- Fund Advisor = you
- Fund Name = your choice
(many Angels use a family name or something personally meaningful)
After submitting your application, you’ll receive:
- A welcome email with access to the Angel Hub
- A separate email to create your secure fund account login
The Angel Hub serves as the shared community space for Abundance Angels, while your fund account portal contains information specific to your individual fund.

FUND YOUR ACCOUNT
Once your Angel Fund is open, you can contribute charitable dollars in several ways:
- Check
- Grants from an existing donor-advised fund
- ACH or wire transfer
- Stock transfers
- Credit card or bank draft
If transferring from another DAF or sending stock via ACH or wire, our team can guide you through the process. Important: Make sure you designate "Abundance Capital" as the sole recipient to streamline the transfer from another DAF.
Abundance Capital Fee Structure
Abundance Capital currently charges a 3% annual administrative fee, billed quarterly, on invested funds. These fees support the operations, reporting, compliance, and community experience connected to the Angel ecosystem.

RECOMMEND AN INVESTMENT
Once your fund is active and funded, you can begin recommending impact-first investment opportunities.
Angels may recommend opportunities connected to causes, organizations, businesses, funds, housing initiatives, or communities they care about. Opportunities can also emerge through the broader Abundance ecosystem and Angel community.
Investment recommendations are submitted through a simple online form. As part of the process, Angels identify a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) connected to the opportunity’s intended impact.
Your Role as an Angel
If investments generate returns, those charitable dollars remain in your Angel Fund and can be reinvested, granted to nonprofits, or transferred to another donor-advised fund.
