Start Your Fund
At Project Wellspring, we lead with collaboration—because transformative impact is never a solo act. Whether you're joining an Impact Collective of like-minded changemakers, co-creating community-driven solutions, or sharing your first asset, every step is designed to drive collective momentum.
When you're ready, launch your own Wellspring Fund and start moving capital toward the causes and communities that matter most to you.
Together, we turn generosity into shared power—and shared power into lasting change.
What Is a Donor‑Advised Fund?
A donor‑advised fund (DAF) lets you make an immediate tax‑deductible gift, then recommend grants or investments over time. Project Wellspring layers in innovation by:
Redirecting for impact
Rather than parking most assets in traditional markets, we channel a significant slice into upstream investments and grants that tackle root causes in under‑invested communities.
Accepting a wide range of assets
Cash, marketable securities, crypto, founder equity, artwork, real estate, and more (subject to our intake review).
Custom fund design & white‑glove support
Our team co‑creates your Fund structure, handles opportunity diligence, crafts grant/investment terms, and manages ongoing stewardship so you can focus on mission.
Ecosystem multiplier
We convene donors, investors, innovators, entrepreneurs, and community partners in optional Impact Collectives and co‑investment circles to share resources, spark collaborations, and amplify every dollar’s effect.
Stewardship & transparent reporting
Receive clear dashboards, quarterly impact reports, and annual reviews—ensuring you’re always informed and in control.
