Impact Investing

If you have a donor-advised fund with TrustBridge Global or what we call a Foundation Fund, you not only have the ability of issuing grants to charitable organizations across the world.  You also have the option to engage in impact investing by recommending a portion of your fund balance as an investment in transformational businesses or enterprising charities around the world. With our partners at Impact Foundation, TrustBridge Global Foundation provides a streamlined way to invest your funds, make loans to charities and grow the amount that you can give away. 

How does it work?

If you don’t have one yet, establish your Foundation Fund (a donor-advised fund), and move your charitable capital to it.  

Recommend investments

Monitor your investments

Watch your investment performance and charitable capital at work.  

Returns fuel more good

Financial returns will be available in your Foundation Fund for reinvesting or granting to charity. 

What can you do with the Impact Investing giving solution?

  • This varies widely and depends on several factors, including the type of investment, the sector, the operating environment of the investment recipient, and the specific goals of the investment.  Impact investments can range from short-term to long-term, with some providing returns within a few years, while others taking a decade or more to meet their intended financial and social impact. 

  • Financial returns generated within the Impact Investment giving solution cannot be withdrawn personally.  The funds can be used for charitable giving or for reinvestment in other transformational businesses. 

  • It depends on the structure of the invesment, but generally will be assessed.
