Calvert Giving Fund

Magnifying Glass Search

The Calvert Giving Fund is a hybrid product that allows philanthropists to capitalize on the social impact of community investing and socially responsible investing.

Calvert Giving Fund was launched in late 2001 by Calvert Foundation, as a way to combine strategic long-term philanthropy with socially responsible and community investment, and demonstrate that idle philanthropic funds can indeed be fully leveraged in support of the concerns and passions of a donor.

Whether it’s the environment, community services like daycare and health centers, poverty alleviation through micro-credit and small business lending, affordable housing, human rights or diversity issues – Calvert Giving Fund allows donated capital to be invested with real financial and social returns in support of these issues.
 
Calvert Giving Fund has answered resoundingly the question, “Why not support with investment dollars the very good you’re trying to create with later grants to charity?” We exist for a new kind of strategic philanthropist, offering a competitive and fully featured solution with low minimums and costs, to service and empower a broad base of donors across the United States.
