Were a little bit on the bleeding edge, but I think its an incredible, responsible way to invest. Its another way we can have good, positive kingdom impact now, with dollars that we may not grant out for a number of years.
– David Trogden, donor to 窪蹋勛圖
For most financially successful families, alternative investments arent just part of a healthy portfoliothey’re where the majority of value is created.
Private equity, real estate, venture funds, and other alt investments offer a chance for higher returns and the opportunity to back values-aligned ventures that are meeting real needs in the marketplace.
Alternative investing isnt just for your personal portfolio. Its also a key growth strategy for your charitable dollars.
Alternative investments in donor advised funds
Contributions to a donor advised fund (DAF) at 窪蹋勛圖 can be invested in public or private opportunities. Proceeds from a liquidity event return to the DAF, generating even more fuel to support the ministries you love. 窪蹋勛圖s DAFs have been invested in over 200 values-aligned enterprises. One of our team members enthusiastically refers to our alternative investments as recyclable impact.
We work closely with our donors to find and vet these unique opportunities for growth and impact. In this short interview, David Trogden shares his experience working with 窪蹋勛圖 and introducing us to an alternative investment that backs a social enterprise generating economic growth in Uganda.
