How does the Maximize Your Impact Fund work?
The Maximize Your Impact Fund ensures that donations go where they can create the greatest change. The fund includes a portfolio of organizations across all dimensions of poverty, ensuring that your impact is multidimensional.
Through rigorous research and strategic allocation, we make discretionary grants at the end of each quarter, directing funds to our recommended charities based on their funding needs, urgent opportunities—such as natural disasters, disease outbreaks, or sudden funding gaps—and ongoing evaluations. Our decisions are guided by direct conversations with these organizations, the fund’s balance, and a focus on programs aligned with our research and strategy.
By contributing to the fund, you entrust a team of expert grant-makers to maximize the effectiveness of your donation. Your support powers a portfolio of high-impact organizations and promising solutions while addressing time-sensitive funding gaps that individual donors might not be able to fill.
Funds are distributed quarterly, ensuring that every donation is put to work without delay. You can choose to allocate 100% of your donation to charities or dedicate 90% to charities and 10% to support our operations. We offer this option because we do not charge donor fees and instead raise operational funding separately.
