ABOUT US

Transformational and not transactional -- this is a new form of impact philanthropy.

In today’s evolving philanthropic landscape, Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are revolutionizing the way companies grow and investors give. DAFs offer a flexible, tax-efficient solution for funding high-impact businesses while ensuring donors maintain control over their contributions.

Traditional charity models often have high overhead costs, reducing the portion of donations that reach the intended cause. Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) offer a more efficient alternative by enabling contributions of assets—stocks, cash, or securities—while providing immediate tax benefits. Most importantly, donors retain control over the timing and allocation of their funds, ensuring their contributions have a direct and meaningful impact across critical sectors.

HOW does Bespoke Impact Philanthropy work?

You directly fund the Innovator of your choice who then issues you securities, which you in turn donate to a Donor Advised Fund for your full tax deduction.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

True progress and innovation comes at the hands of entrepreneurs NOT bureaucracies or governments.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

You want to solve a problem?
Want to send less money to Washington D.C.?

Harness the endless energy and creative spirit of the entrepreneurial class.

If the last 200 years of economic history have taught us anything, it’s that invention and practical solutions come out of the private sector – the for profit private sector.

To have an impact we think the best way is to partner with an entrepreneur not a professional fundraiser who’s not really changing much.

FACT: Charities receive almost $500 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR and on average less that 80 cents on the dollar actually go to the cause.

FACT: The engine of innovation in the USA is being starved of capital as firms become more risk averse

FACT: You can make the IRS your non-dilutive co-investor by following their rules.

HOW IT WORKS

Our Process

STEP #1
We listen
We learn all about your current philanthropic activities and the vehicles you have been using like Charities, Endowments, Trusts, or Donor advised funds(DAF)
STEP #1
STEP #2
Our Network
We then use our network to identify early stage companies in the USA or Canada or even in your state or province that share your mission.
STEP #2
STEP #3
Introduction
We introduce you to the founders of those companies and include your advisors
STEP #3
STEP #4
Contribution
For the contribution you make to that company you receive securities (stock,convertible notes,SAFE notes etc) and then we connect you with one of the DAF’s we have vetted, or a foundation or endowment of your choice.A discussion with the DAF takes place PRIOR to any decisions on your part.
STEP #4
STEP #5
Donation
You donate those securities to the DAF or foundation/endowment and receive a charitable donation tax receipt
STEP #5
STEP #6
Closing
If held in a DAF, when those securities experience a liquidity event, they will be sold and the funds will be directed to a charity of your choice. Or the proceeds can be re-invested.
STEP #6

During all of these steps BIP will be there to help.

You pay no fees to BIP and at no time does your money or the securities touch BIP.

FAQ

What is a Curated Impact Vehicle, and how does it work?

With Bespoke Impact Philanthropy, you can easily create a customized giving strategy that aligns with your personal philanthropic goals, all through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). This approach gives you more flexibility and control over where your donations go, without adding extra work on your end.

We’ll work closely with you to:

  • Focus on specific causes and organizations you care about.
  • Tailor a personalized grant-making strategy that reflects your goals.
  • Brand and position your impact vehicle based on your preferences.
  • Maintain full control over how your funds are used.

This process is streamlined and handled by our team, ensuring that you can focus on making a difference while we manage the details. It’s an easy, customized solution that allows your philanthropy to have a direct, measurable impact.

What is Bespoke Impact Philanthropy?

Bespoke Impact Philanthropy allows you to make charitable donations while supporting early-stage, high-impact companies. By donating securities (e.g., stock or equity) in these companies to a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you can receive a tax receipt and benefit from future upside if the company succeeds.

How does Bespoke Impact Philanthropy work?
  1. You donate securities in an early-stage company to a DAF.
  2. The DAF provider values the donated securities and issues you a tax receipt for the full fair market value.
  3. The DAF holds/owns the securities, allowing them to appreciate over time, exempt from income taxes.
  4. You direct how the DAF funds are granted to charitable causes.
  5. If the company has a liquidity event in the future, the DAF can sell the shares, and the proceeds are granted to your chosen charities.
Why should I consider donating through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) instead of a traditional charity?

Traditional charities often have high overhead costs, meaning only a portion of your donation reaches the cause. With DAFs, you can donate assets like stocks or securities, receive an immediate tax deduction, and retain control over where your funds are directed—ensuring your donation makes a greater impact on the causes you care about.

BIP BUSINESS MODEL

BIP BUSINESS MODEL

At BIP, we work with rigorously pre-vetted innovators who can make real change in impact-driven industries. Philanthropists know exactly where their money is going, and they can be confident it’s backing meaningful solutions. The source of our innovators is NextRound.ai our sister company and NextRound’s fees are spelled out plainly–fees payable by the innovator.
 
Here’s how we get compensated: Via our relationship with NextRound.ai we have the option to receive equity or options in these companies at a higher valuation than the current round. If the company doesn’t exceed that valuation, BIP gets nothing. Importantly, we do not take any money from philanthropists.Our compensation is tied to the success of the companies we support, ensuring we are fully aligned with both the philanthropists and innovators to create lasting, transformative change.
