FUELING IMPACT
BACKING BOLD IDEAS
Grants and investments aligned with values, led by trust, and built for change
WE Catalyze Change Through Capital and Collaboration.
Propel invests in early-stage ventures and visionary leaders building dynamic, sustainable solutions to today’s toughest challenges. Through a dual structure — grants via a DAF and investments via an LLC — we work at the intersection of philanthropy and capital innovation.
We strive to improve economic outcomes and access to capital and WORK to grow the social impact talent pipeline.
Sparked by a commitment to cross-sector solutions to issues of inequality, we collaborate with dynamic social entrepreneurs and organizers employing creative approaches that fuel innovation and drive social change.
Our approach ensures that investment capital is cycled repeatedly for impact and we prioritize strategies that unlock additional capital. By doing more leg work, taking on more risk, and investing early, we have leveraged millions more from other investors.
Every dollar we move, whether through grants, investments, or operations, is aligned with our values.
Since the beginning we have prioritized deep, trusted relationships with the extraordinary leaders and teams behind the organizations we fund. We take risks on people who may not have access to capital and networks, but have drive, ideas, and a strong sense of purpose to create positive change.
We extend this approach to young people beginning their careers, providing support to help build the next generation of social impact talent.
