We are committed to investing with our time, talent, and treasure in a wide variety of endeavors to renew faith, culture, business, and government. Our specific areas of emphasis include poverty prevention through job creation, cultural renewal, stewardship, and leadership formation, and we are also involved in mental and physical health improvements.
"Right Away" Philanthropy
Traditional grant-making to non-profits, such as the following:
"Patient" Philanthropy
We use capital to invest in funds and individual companies that are financially sustainable and have a positive spiritual, social and/or environmental impact. Some of the select for-profit investment funds with whom we partner for impact:
Creation Fund
A leading impact investment management company dedicated to private equity and private credit investments in the financial services industry. Leveraging our deep industry experience, we partner with management teams to inject growth equity, facilitate strategic M&A and provide critical funding to firms specializing in microfinance, small-and-medium enterprise credit, leasing, factoring, insurance, savings, payments and mobile money.
Sovereign’s Capital Access Fund
Invests in private equity and venture funds, with a focus on funds managing $25 million to $500 million in assets. We invest in primaries, secondaries, GP stakes, and direct deals across venture and private equity, both in the U.S. and abroad. We prioritize managers focused on strategies that promote human flourishing for customers and employees alike, with primary focus in healthcare, human performance (e.g. wearables), education, small business, and technology. Our commitment is to both market leading returns and strong values.
For-Profit Companies
Some of the individual for-profit companies with whom we partner for impact:
CoLabs
Developing The Ventor, an emergency airway and ventilation system which will consistently deliver the new standard of care. Born from experience and designed with passion, The Ventor changes how we approach airway management and ventilation during cardiac arrest. The Ventor is not an accessory or an additional piece of equipment for emergency medicine.
Other Activities
We're also co-leading a DC chapter of Faith Driven Entrepreneur - "A movement dedicated to gathering one million Christ-following entrepreneurs and equipping them, so they can fulfill their call to create and transform the world around them."
For six years, we led a Visual Arts Competition to incentivize and highlight the creation of meaningful and discernible art that lifts up the good, the true, and the beautiful and tells the truth about the world.
