Our mission is to change the future of funding to elevate women and BIPOC founders.

With our unique philanthropic model, Inspire Access unlocks and mobilizes charitable dollars in service of narrowing the investment gap.

Funds sitting in DAF accounts can do good AND do well by supporting for-profit companies while addressing historic gender and race inequity. And, returns go back to growing DAF accounts to make even more impact.

How it Works

Impact investing with Inspire Access is easy with a Philanthropic Investment Grant.

Make a charitable donation to Inspire Access from your donor-advised fund (DAF), foundation, or personal funds.

Inspire Access provides a debt or equity based investment, or capacity building grant, to a high potential founder via a Philanthropic Investment Grant.

We donate 99% of investment returns to your recommended DAF, foundation or other 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
