One of the criticisms we often hear about donor-advised funds is that they’ve become vehicles for donors to park their money with no requirements for payout. That’s not a charge that can be hung on the Impact Fund, which features a payout rate far above industry norms. Impact Fund members invest with us for many reasons, but always because they know their intent will be honored.
Our emphasis on strategic philanthropy isn’t just about our immediate returns and impact, it’s about America’s long-term future. The organizations that our donors support have shown that they are worthy of our investment by their success in restoring, strengthening, and protecting American freedoms and principles. So, as we see it, strategic philanthropy is about helping our members exercise their intent both now and in the future.
The Partnership Fund pools together donations of those who believe in the Bradley Impact Fund’s mission and want their gifts to be directed to groups engaged in excellent work across all four of the Impact Fund’s priority giving areas: Civil Society, Constitutional Order, Free Markets, and Informed Citizens. Donations to this fund bolster the grants made to organizations selected from across the four issue area funds.
