Put Your DAF to Work: Investing Philanthropic Capital in Climate
For seven years, Decarbon8, E8's philanthropic impact fund, has invested in early-stage cleantech innovation.
In that time, we've consistently heard the same two questions from donors and investors: how does this actually work, and how can I put my philanthropic capital to work this way?
Join us for a 1-hour learning lab that demystifies how philanthropic capital, including the funds sitting in your donor-advised fund (DAF), can be invested for climate impact through recoverable grants.
You'll hear from:
Matt Eldridge, Executive Director of Realize Impact
Lily Starling Louis, Project Co-Lead at DAF Commons
Matt Tucker, E8 Board Member and Decarbon8 donor
Karin Kidder, E8 Executive Director and Decarbon8 Manager
To close, we'll share more about Decarbon8, including a first look at the companies receiving investment from the fund this year.
You don't need to be an accredited investor to participate; this is an accessible way to put philanthropic capital to work in early-stage climate innovation.
