The problem with most DAFs

Most DAFs limit the donors’ giving to domestic non-profits, inhibiting the reach of charitable dollars to places where it may be needed most.

Our solution: Everspire has established a relationship with University Impact. You can choose to have Everspire manage your DAF funds or you can utilize a wonderful relationship Everspire has cultivated to customize your giving experience. Your UI team sources giving and impact investing opportunities for you both domestically and abroad, according to your tailored impact strategy. This expands the reach of DAF capital to a global level.

The three aspects of the Everspire DAF

A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows individuals to make a charitable contribution with an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants and impact investments from the DAF over time.

University Impact takes the DAF framework and improves it by:

  • University Impact’s board and investment committee are led by experts in philanthropy, venture capital and debt, family and private office management, and public market investments.
  • University Impact actively curates impact investment and grant opportunities for clients based on their impact, geographic, and investment preferences. We also perform all the financial and impact due diligence for you and submit it to our Investment Committee.
  • University Impact provides undergraduate and graduate students, globally, with an immersive, hands-on learning experience in impact investing and philanthropy so that they can use these experiences to do social good throughout the entirety of their careers.
