Realize Impact

Realize Impact is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Bainbridge Island, Washington, dedicated to funding and supporting impactful startups addressing social and environmental challenges. Founded in 2013, the organization operates three main programs: philanthropic investing, fiscal sponsorships, and impact fund management. Through these initiatives, Realize Impact has facilitated the movement of over $25 million in philanthropic capital into impact investments globally. The organization's philanthropic investment grants (PHIGs) enable donors to recommend investments in companies tackling critical social and environmental issues. Realize Impact also offers fiscal sponsorships, allowing mission-driven organizations without 501(c)(3) status to receive traditional grants and donations. Additionally, the organization manages impact funds, partnering with other entities to invest in sectors such as agriculture, climate change, and poverty alleviation. Realize Impact collaborates with various partners, including Social Venture Partners, Fledge, and others, to identify and support companies with the potential to create significant positive impact. Their approach emphasizes making impact investing accessible and effective for everyone, aligning with their values of audacity, responsibility, and bridge-building.
