Leverage Your Capital In New Ways
Most people think of philanthropy as the singular exercise of grantmaking. We believe philanthropy should be an immersive experience, where you can choose among several adventures.
So we’re inventing fresh ways for our donors to engage in their giving. Ways that can inspire; ways that provoke different thinking; ways that embrace strategic approaches, and ways that invite donors to join in collective effort.
Strategic consulting
“Consulting” is a word that comes with a lot of baggage and a ton of preconceptions. Let’s cast them aside and start fresh, because what folks really want from consulting goes beyond slide decks, best practices, and proprietary processes.
In fact, when it comes to your philanthropy, you need the exact opposite. You want rich conversations, deep issue-area expertise, and strategic ingenuity. You want a team oriented toward impact. You want leverage. And you want it to be a stimulating ride.
Welcome to Strategy at MCF.
Venture Impact Program
Our Venture Impact Program enables impact investing through philanthropy. It gives you the unique opportunity to support early-stage non-profit and for-profit businesses that are doing social or environmental good.
It’s an exciting way to launch mission-driven entrepreneurs, accelerate impact fund managers, and fund nonprofits.
Pooled Funds
A pooled fund allows multiple donors to give to a single fund, increasing the potential for impact. A well-designed pooled fund, like a mutual fund, delivers a portfolio of complementary organizations that create a fully realized approach to tackling a challenge.
Our current pooled fund, The Joy Fund, supports 22 Marin nonprofits doing something special for our neighbors during the holiday season.
