You Can create Real change.
We fund lawsuits that defend immigrants’ rights, challenge systemic racism in schools, fight climate change, and so much more.
But the need is growing faster than our resources.
Communities facing injustice are turning to us for support, but limited resources mean we’re increasingly forced to turn away critical cases.
Your support allows us to respond to more communities in need.
Other Ways to Give
Planned Gifts (bequests, insurance policy, trusts)
Your planned or future gift integrates your generosity with your overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals to maximize benefits to both you and the Impact Fund. Planned gifts typically come from a donor’s assets rather than income – some types of gifts include:
Wills or Bequests;
Trusts;
Life Insurance; and
Mutual Funds.
A trusted legal or financial advisor can help you develop a plan for making charitable planned gifts that compliment your current investment and estate plans. Please consult your own tax or legal advisor prior to making a planned gift to the Impact Fund.
Nominate the Impact Fund for a Cy Près Award
The Impact Fund is an appropriate recipient of cy près awards because we are an established nonprofit foundation with a track record of administering funds, making grants (approved by a Board of Advisors composed of highly respected and diverse public interest attorneys), and preparing yearly reports of our activities. Because of our broad priorities (civil rights, poverty, and environmental justice), we can administer funds targeted to support a wide range of activities. Finally, with our low overhead, we can ensure an efficient and cost-effective administration of the funds.

If you have further questions about the cy près doctrine or naming the Impact Fund as a cy près beneficiary, please contact Lindsay Nako, Executive Director of the Impact Fund.
