Amplified Giving
Zephyr Impact puts ambitious, high-impact philanthropy within reach of family offices. This 501c3 platform enables donors and social entrepreneurs to maximize their philanthropic impact, offering tailored solutions to operationalize funds effectively to achieve meaningful outcomes​.
​
We begin by building a deep understanding of a problem area, learning with subject matter experts, fellow philanthropists, and community members. We then work with specialists to curate and operationalize support for initiatives working on the most promising solutions. Donors have the option of pooling resources with other philanthropists to support the most promising social entrepreneurs and to multiply donor impact.
