Donations are made to Better Giving. This is a US 501(c) (3) non profit and then granted out to the nonprofit of your choice.
โ€‹
Better Giving grant out the donations to the chosen nonprofit on a monthly basis as requested by the nonprofit. The nonprofit can choose to invest the funds in
1) a Savings account deployed in a Money Market account in partnership with Fidelity Investments. This is passively managed with an expected APY of 4-5%.

2) an Investment account (the Sustainability Fund) managed by our Investment Committee with a team of expert investment advisors. We currently offer one Fund option that comprises (50%) Domestic and International Equities (30%) Fixed income, (15%) Bitcoin and Ethereum (5%) cash. The fund is rebalanced monthly. We will also be introducing risk and theme based investment options in the future to provide more options for nonprofits.

These accounts are invested as a Board Managed quasi-endowment, and Better Giving grants out 75% of the yield every quarter to the nonprofit, investing the other 25% of the yield into the sustainability fund to mitigate against such as inflation. In this way, donors can give today, but see the impact continue into the future.
