Bringing the Great American Philanthropist Together with the Great American Innovator

Right now, the biggest breakthroughs in medicine, climate solutions, and technology are happening in startups. But most of these innovators can’t get funded.

Meanwhile, philanthropists donate $500 billion annually, yet most of it goes to charities focused on short-term aid—not the solutions that could actually solve these problems.

At Bespoke Impact Philanthropy (BIP), we bridge this gap. We give donors a way to fund life-changing innovation—while keeping full tax benefits.

And we’re looking for someone who can help us bring more philanthropists and charities into this model.

Who We Are & Why This Role Matters

BIP was founded by investment professionals who vet startups and help them secure funding. Founders come to us when they need capital, and we connect them with the right investors.

But we saw a major problem:

• Many of the most impactful startups—curing pediatric cancer, tackling water shortages, and creating safer tech for kids—were being ignored by venture capital.
• Investors are moving away from early-stage innovation, focusing on later-stage Series C & D companies.
• That means these startups can’t survive without consistent funding.

At the same time, charities working on these same issues struggle for funding. Instead of making charities and startups compete, we align them—so they can work together.

Now, we need someone with philanthropy expertise to help bring donors and charities into this model.

If you have access to donors, this could be a highly lucrative opportunity for you.

How BIP Works: A Smarter Way to Fund Innovation

We operate on a 0% fee model—meaning we do not take any money from donors.

Instead, we use donor-advised funds (DAFs) and direct charitable donations to fund innovation.

How It Works:

Charities supporting causes we work with (pediatric cancer, medical innovation, climate solutions) direct a portion of their donations toward vetted startups.

Donors receive an immediate tax deduction when they contribute through a charity or a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).

They can then instruct the charity to purchase equity in the company, or the DAF can make the investment directly.

Over time, as the startup grows, the equity increases in value.

The philanthropist can then donate the appreciated equity back to the charity—ensuring it benefits from long-term financial growth.

Because philanthropists cannot personally profit, all economic gains must be redirected back to a charitable cause.

This model helps:

Charities & Foundations create high-impact funding without relying solely on annual donations.

Innovators get the capital they need to succeed.

Donors leverage their philanthropy for greater impact, turning one-time gifts into long-term funding solutions.

Why This Works

Unlike traditional philanthropy, which spreads funds across thousands of charities with no financial return, our model creates a structured portfolio of vetted, high-impact startups.

• Donors don’t just fund individual startups—they invest in a diversified portfolio, reducing risk.
• Startups are highly vetted to ensure they are positioned for growth.
• Charities gain sustainable funding sources rather than relying on one-time donations.

We are highly confident in this approach because we market an entire portfolio—giving donors exposure to multiple companies, ensuring a diversified and impactful investment.

How You Get Paid: Equity in the Companies You Help Fund

When a donor funds a startup because of your introduction, we receive options or warrants to buy 2% of the company.

We grant up to 50% of that economic interest to you.

What does that mean?

• In early-stage investing, valuations often 5x or more as companies grow.
• This means each option or warrant could be worth $1M+.
• If you raise capital for a $30M portfolio, your equity stake could be worth $6M–$15M+ depending on the portfolio’s success.
• The more you raise, the more you earn.

The entire BIP team takes an equity stake in BIP. We refuse to take money from donors investing in high-impact causes and want all the money to go to our founders and the change they create. This is a rare opportunity to build generational wealth while funding life-changing innovation.

The Role: Philanthropy Partner

We already have a team of top-tier investors, venture strategists, and startup experts.

But we don’t have anyone with deep experience in philanthropy, donor engagement, or foundation fundraising.

That’s why we’re hiring a Philanthropy Partner—someone who can bring philanthropists and charities into this model and help secure funding for vetted, high-impact startups.

What You’ll Do

• Fundraise for impact-driven startups through donor-advised funds, foundations, and major gift donors.
• Educate philanthropists on how they can maximize their impact while keeping full tax benefits.
• Secure major contributions ($1M+ gifts preferred) from high-net-worth donors and foundations.
• Align donors with startups in pediatric cancer, medical innovation, and climate solutions.
• Help charities get involved in the model—if you work at a charity, we’d love to work with you.

Who We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in major gift fundraising, donor relations, or nonprofit development.
• A strong network of philanthropists, family foundations, or donor-advised fund managers.
• Proven success in securing high-value contributions ($1M+ gifts preferred).
• Deep understanding of donor strategy and how high-net-worth individuals structure their giving.
• Comfortable in a performance-based, fully remote role with unlimited earning potential.

Ideal candidates have worked at:

• Nonprofits in major fundraising roles
• Donor-advised funds (DAFs) or family foundations
• Venture philanthropy or impact investment firms

Why This Matters

Philanthropists already fund research, medical trials, and social causes. But they’re rarely given the opportunity to fund the startups that are actually solving these problems.

We fix this.
