August 19, 2024 Venture In The South Season 3 Episode 132

E132: Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are not new, but using them for Venture Philanthropy is an innovative way to pursue impact investing.

Abundance Capital extends the ability of new and seasoned philanthropists to unlock community potential, generate inclusive prosperity, and create sustainable local economies across the South.

Recommending investments from specialized donor-advised funds, fundholders provide much-needed, risk-tolerant, flexible financing in the form of loans, equity, and grants to people and projects that solve problems and create opportunities.

Paul interviews Margaret Gifford, Co-Founder of Abundance Capital about their approach to Venture Philanthropy and how it works for investors. (recorded 8/14/24)
