Invest Your Philanthropic Capital

Put charitable dollars to work by investing in companies led by women and people of color, and gain returns for future giving.

Less than 3% of investment capital goes to women and people of color. Inspire Access is here to change that.

We’re making it easy for you to activate your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) and invest in the next generation of legendary companies.

What is your money doing?

There is $200 billion sitting in Donor Advised Funds (DAF) in the U.S. Most of which is invested traditionally in mutual funds and ETFs without regard to impact.

Inspire Access allows donors to invest DAF funds in women and people of color, advancing racial and gender equity. Any profits may be returned to your DAF or reinvested.

How It Works

Inspire Access makes investing with philanthropic capital easy.

Make a charitable contribution to Inspire Access from your personal funds, Donor Advised Fund (DAF), or private foundation.

Recommend the investment you want Inspire Access to make in an underrepresented founder through a working capital loan, a direct equity investment, or limited partnership position in a private equity fund.

Any financial returns go back to your charitable account, to fuel future giving or can be reinvested to continuing working to close the investment gap.
