As a Pledge Partner, you not only drive positive change, but also fortify your investment portfolio with startups that have successfully built traction and undergone rigorous testing. We provide an avenue to receive both a tax write off and an investment vehicle with deal flow.

How Pledges Work

Pledge partnership drives real-world impact and your investments steer innovation towards a better future. Together, we can ensure the success of viable social impact solutions.

 

Pledge operates on a two-fold principle:

  1. Donate 20% of your pledge directly into IIF as a tax-deductible donation upon making Pledge.

    • Donation ROI: The ROI for investors is to have startups that have launched with clients to test the market, have data research, and educated by our programs to help ensure their success.​

  2. In an Agreement Letter, state the remaining 80% of your pledge will be invested over the course of 3 years into viable social impact startups who complete our education and fellowship programs.

Investors like that our approach aligns with the key indicators that they need to see before investing in social impact startups. Investors become pledge partners to have have access to startups who have completed our programs educated, having launched their solutions to demonstrate traction and market validation.
