Investing for the Abundance Effect
Abundance Capital sources donor-advised investment opportunities through an ecosystem of individual donors, investment intermediaries, community capital providers, business accelerators, and charitable foundations. Learn more below:
Custom Investments
Get ideas by reviewing investments and loans recommended so far by Angel Fund advisors, often in collaboration with each other. Placements made directly in companies, nonprofits, and projects.
Catalytic Funds
Consider multi-donor, pooled funds hosted by Abundance. Funds are advised by nonprofits, groups of philanthropists, or Abundance itself. Investing activity focused on particular causes, issues or places.
Nonprofit Loan Funds
Check out current options for making loans to nonprofit organizations. These include ongoing or project-based opportunities through community development organizations.
Important note to those seeking funding: Abundance Capital does not manage a pool of funds from which it chooses to deploy. All of our loans, investments, and grants are conducted at the recommendation of venture philanthropists (Abundance Angels) who open donor-advised funds on our platform. If your business, organization, or project is impact-driven, and you think you may have funders interested in investing using our platform, let’s talk! We’re always open to possibilities that will activate new venture philanthropy for building stronger communities. See below to review qualifying impact criteria.
Investment Principles & Criteria
Support small businesses, social enterprises, real estate projects, and community development funds.
Provide patient, risk-tolerant, flexible financing structures including loans, equity, convertible debt, and grants.
Prioritize impact over financial returns, seeking to make philanthropy renewable, not maximize fund value.
Use a wide lens to measure impact, because healthy equitable communities are built using an array of interconnected inputs.
Take guidance from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (below), commonly utilized by mainstream investors and enterprises supporting peace and prosperity for people and the planet.
