How Funds Work
God calls us to radical generosity—not obligation, not guilt, but an invitation to the joy filled adventure. When you’ve been rescued you want to rescue others, this is your moment.
You want to give. You want to find that cause to rally around. But we don’t have the time or tribe to be intentional.
Busy schedules don’t allow us to do stock picking and diligence every charity we give to. So we bounce from rubber chicken event to rubber chicken event, wallets clenched, hearts tugged, minds skeptical. We know there must be a better way.
The Power of Together.
We stopped picking stocks in the 1980s.
We think giving is in a similar moment.
Funds forever changed the financial markets. They ushered in a new era of investing, bringing scale, impact, and efficiency that transformed how we think about putting capital to work.
As Faith Driven Investors and Entrepreneurs, we solve problems. We invest for impact. Under God’s power and for His glory, we steward resources to drive real, lasting change.
We believe there’s an opportunity to bring that same approach to giving—pooling generosity through Giving Funds to tackle the problems we care about and building community around a shared purpose.
The greatest victories aren’t solo acts; they’re won together. That’s why we rally behind our alma maters and favorite sports teams. But our ultimate battle isn’t football on weekends or March Madness runs in the spring.
The ultimate battle? Solving the world’s biggest problems. Where the scoreboard matters. The wins change lives, families, and cities.
Fund Management Combined with Content and Community
The Approach
Don’t just give reactively. Deploy charitable capital with purpose. Backed by world-class insights and an unshakable community of builders, investors, and givers, we move money with intention—where it makes the greatest impact.
Giving Funds
Give directly or through your existing donor-advised fund (DAF) to put your generosity into action.
Team-Based Giving
Solving the World’s Greatest Problems is a team sport. These funds unite like-minded givers to solve real problems and celebrate real wins.
Expert-Led Impact
Run by pros, backed by experts. Giving Funds pool generosity to address the problems we care about most—supporting ministries, investing in businesses tackling systemic issues, and funding opportunities for direct impact.
World-Class Reporting
No fluff. No spin. Just the truth. Givers deserve more than numbers—they deserve the real story. Our reports cut through the noise with radical transparency, real narratives, and the metrics that matter. We’re not chasing results—we’re driven by Kingdom impact.
Why It Matters
Giving for Lasting Change
SWGP Giving Funds break down silos, uniting generous gifts across givers, partners and tools to drive systemic, lasting change.
We give with lasting impact in mind. Where a Fund uses charitable investments, any returns stay dedicated to charitable purposes—fueling future giving and extending impact. Experienced professionals carefully evaluate each opportunity to support effective solutions.
Built on a Legacy of Faith Driven Entrepreneur & Investor
Faith Driven was born at the intersection of fund management, content, and community. Henry Kaestner of Sovereign’s Capital and Justin Forman, former EVP of RightNow Media, joined forces with trusted advisors to launch Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Investor. Drawing on Henry’s leadership at a $1B+ investment firm and Justin’s experience building world-class content and community reaching more than 30,000 churches and 5 million people, Faith Driven has grown into a global movement. Since then, more than 200 private equity and venture capital leaders have helped shape the community through annual conferences, regular groups, and the conversations and content that flow from them.
It’s Strategic Kingdom Deployment
The Faith Driven community has been asking for this. Now, it’s here. The best minds of the movement, the best opportunities, the best teams—united to make generosity more powerful than ever.
To follow the conversation, join the email list on the site, select the problems you feel most called to be a part of solving. We’ll keep you posted as content and funds launch! Stay tuned—we’re just getting started.
Core Characteristics
Guided by Values.
Focused on Impact.
Each SWGP Giving Fund is built on a shared set of values and strategies as we direct charitable capital toward solutions for the world’s greatest problems.
Innovative Strategies
Faith Driven builders
Healing Both
We believe brokenness—both physical and spiritual—is at the root of much of the world’s pain. While funds may be supported by families and institutions from a broad perspective, we fund ministries and businesses led by Christ-followers, committed to healing both.
An on-ramp to start fastThe Lab Version
While launching entrepreneurial rescue squads to pursue upstream solutions, we believed in acting swiftly. We broadened access by creating a “lab version” of Giving Funds. Like an ETF brings together investment opportunities, these Funds brought together charitable giving opportunities for people unfamiliar with today’s strategic solutions—with all contributions dedicated to charitable impact and no financial returns to donors. This bridge became a vital on-ramp—giving many a way to engage now while specialized rescue teams built more actively managed Giving Funds to tackle the biggest problems.
Righteous riskCourageous Capital
Whether equipping existing organizations or launching new initiatives, we believe courageous capital must meet the moment—embracing rapid shifts in technology and culture to drive bold, timely innovation. We seek out solutions that are already working and need acceleration. Our team searches globally for proven models ready to scale. We want to come behind collaborations that are already happening, while supporting the launch of new funds.
From aid to tradePhilanthropy Is the Spark
Philanthropy isn’t the endgame—it’s the spark. A catalyst to prove that bold ideas can work in the market with fair, sustainable profit. It de-risks and unlocks scale. Think of it like jumpstarting a car: philanthropy gets it going, but capitalism is the engine that drives lasting change—turning market failure into a thriving, competitive solution. Through strategic giving, we fuel long-term change and reinvest returns to multiply impact.
Decisive battlesFocused Geography
We don’t spread drops across an ocean—we focus. By choosing specific regions, countries, or cities, we prove concepts, build momentum, and win strategic battles that drive the next waves of momentum.
Global and localRegion-Led Funds
We’re starting with a global perspective and fund approach—but as engagement grows, we envision region-led funds, built by and for local leaders to drive impact where it matters most.
Abundance vs. scarcityEntrepreneurial at the Core
The team, and the movement we serve is entrepreneurial at its core. We see problems as opportunities to create value and opportunities for flourishing. From mindset to language, we’re committed to building pathways where 1+1=5.
Seek collaborationUnity Multiplies
We look for partners who work well with others. Collaboration may look different in each season, whether it’s across different ministries or coordination amongst general managers of each fund. But unity multiplies impact.
Operational Excellence
Seeds, Not Silos
Jesus warns us. Plant Seeds. Don’t build Silos. That’s why we deploy all contributions to the funds with urgency, following each Fund Manager’s recommendations with the approval of the Investment Committee, putting resources to work swiftly while remaining faithful stewards.
Compounding Impact
With multiple funds under a shared platform, we’re able to compound impact across funds. We’re also able to multiply impact as generous donors have covered the management expenses so 100% of contributions are able to make an impact.
Data & Insights
By leveraging data and insights from decades of grantmaking across the movement, we identify meaningful inputs, outputs, and outcomes that inform effective decision-making.
Professional Diligence
Each allocation undergoes rigorous evaluation ensuring alignment with both financial and impact goals. Each fund, depending on its focus area and type of charitable capital, works with trusted partners (such as All Access or Calvin Edwards) to thoroughly evaluate the ministries and ventures receiving funding.
Named Donor Updates
Fund supporters who choose to give as named donors receive updates on their contributions, including detailed information about how and where their funds are deployed. These updates show the tangible difference their contributions are making and the lives being transformed through each fund.
Curated Community
Investment Committees
God has entrusted leaders in this movement with decades of thoughtful giving and investing. Each fund will be guided by a Investment Committee of seasoned high-capacity givers and investors — all deeply committed to solving the world’s greatest problems.
Uniting Families
The great wealth transfer is here — creating a pivotal opportunity for generations to align around shared missions. Even amid differing values, funds bring accessible opportunities to bring together couples or generations.
Events & Experiences
Whether it’s for a day or a week, you’ll have the option to visit the front lines or attend events to see the impact you’re making with friends as you give together.
Partnering with the Church
We believe the Church is one of the most powerful vehicles for transformation—and we actively partner with it, whether it’s partnering on giving mobilization or being a place of stability and trust acceleration with builders we allocate to.
A Shared Platform
We see huge potential for existing communities—within events, partner ministries, and regional groups like NCF, Blue Trust (and many other friends) to plug into the larger SWGP network and build together on a shared platform.
Air Pocket
While some might prefer community with other givers, they may prefer anonymity in where they give. Collaborative Funds give you a chance to be intentional and at scale, while avoiding the pressures that come with direct giving.
Community Driven
The Builders, Investors, and Givers already serving on the ground are the true drivers of change. We believe those who live it are the ones who should lead it. We simply come alongside to strengthen these leaders’ impact and expand their reach.
World-Class Content
Stop Signs & U-Turns
The world is driving through stop signs. Much of the language used is tired. We aren’t aiming content on ramps for people decades deep in the conversation. We’re using accessible language that reframe issues through gritty stories and build stop signs to create U-Turns to invite people on a new adventure.
A Force Multiplier
Too often we’ve overlooked the importance of telling our story. We’ve stripped down costs and destroyed leveraged impact in the process. Content is the voice of strategy and a force multiplier, leveraging shared influence to invite people into the journey and multiply impact two-, three-, or tenfold.
Inspiration without action falls short. Our roots lie at the intersection of fund management, content, and community—bringing together expertise from Sovereign’s Capital and RightNow Media. After years of engaging top investors, the Faith Driven community has asked us to step up, turning inspiration into meaningful, accessible action.
Yes, these funds are both new and building on proven success. Collaborative efforts like Illuminations is demonstrating the power of focused giving, potentially completing Bible translation within the next decade through collaborative funding. We’re about supporting these existing groups along with launching new ones. We’re applying these proven models with our community of givers who want to accelerate solutions together.
Each Giving Fund has its own strategy, timeline, and Investment Committee. In partnership with Solving the World’s Greatest Problems, each fund is led by its Investment Committee, which approves strategies for allocating charitable capital through grants and investments. All funds share a commitment to accelerating proven solutions. Donors can contribute to multiple funds based on their interests and capacity.
You can see some of the unique things above about the approach with Data, Research, Community, Content, Communications. At the core, SWGP funds combine the power of focused, collaborative capital with an engaged community of givers. Fund Supporters don’t just give – they become part of a network of peers actively learning and growing together.
Absolutely. We believe in collaboration, not competition. There are incredible Collective Impact Alliances already working in areas like Bible Translation and Evangelism, and we want to amplify and accelerate their efforts.
Both. While most Funds focus on charitable grants, Fund Managers may also recommend investments in for-profit businesses when they offer an effective way to address a problem. Any returns remain dedicated to charitable purposes, supporting future giving and reinvestment—with no financial returns to donors.
Each fund has a Fund Manager who recommends allocations to an Investment Committee.
Fund supporters who choose to give as named donors receive updates on their contributions, including detailed information about how and where their funds are deployed. These updates show the tangible difference their contributions are making and the lives being transformed through each fund.
Prayer isn’t optional—it’s foundational. We don’t rely on human wisdom alone. Every investment committee, Fund Manager, and advisor is chosen for both their expertise and their commitment to prayer, ensuring we steward God’s resources with discernment.
