By combining direct service, impact strategy, and outcomes-focused investment opportunities, Cascade Impact aims to understand and address social barriers from the ground up. Cascade Impact operates at the intersection of innovative finance, economics, and direct service. We believe that by transforming the giving ecosystem we can better support the deployment of more equitable and evidence-based initiatives at scale.
Cascade Impact provides streamlined and tailored services to family offices, charitable foundations, and NGOs to support organizations as they define (or refine) their philanthropic giving strategies and impact measurement frameworks. Cascade Impact provides due diligence on giving opportunities to ensure the greatest social return on investment is achieved for partners. Additionally, we promote and structure innovative outcomes-based financing arrangements to efficiently mobilize capital and ensure program sustainability.
Learn MoreWe believe there is power in the collective. Our Collective Impact Funds bring together philanthropic leaders and individuals to structure large-scale investments that move the needle on some of the most pressing social issues of our day. We pool and deploy philanthropic capital across our main priority areas: Food Security, Opportunity, & Education to incite lasting change in partnership with communities.
The funding decision-making process is transparent and data-driven, ensuring that capital distribution will have the greatest social ROI. The funding decisions will be open, with all levels of contributors getting a voice in where these funds are best deployed.
