The Power of Building, Investing and Giving Together
Solving big problems requires coordinated generosity.
Give together. Go further.
SWGP Giving Funds
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. 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.
Funds forever changed the financial markets. They ushered in a new era of investing. The scale of impact and efficiency forever changed how we think about putting capital to work.
We think giving is in a similar moment.
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 think there’s an opportunity to create community around these funds. 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.
The Approach
Don’t just give reactively. Deploy 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.

Guided by Values.
Focused on Impact.
Each SWGP Giving Fund is built on a shared set of values and strategies as we direct capital toward solutions for the world’s greatest problems.
On this page:
World-Class Content
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.
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.
Curated Community
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.
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.
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 and invest.
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 and investing mobilization or being a place of stability and trust acceleration with builders we allocate to.
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.
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.
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.
Innovative Strategies
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.
While launching entrepreneurial rescue squads to pursue upstream solutions, we believe in acting swiftly, democratized access by creating a “lab version” of funds. Like an ETF, it curated deal flow for the 90% unaware of today’s strategic solutions. This bridge became a vital on-ramp—giving many a way to engage now while elite rescue teams built more actively managed funds to tackle the biggest problems.
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.
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 or investing, we fuel long-term change and reinvest returns to multiply impact.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
By leveraging data and insights from decades of grantmaking across the movement, we identify meaningful inputs, outputs, and outcomes that inform effective decision-making.
Each investment undergoes rigorous evaluation by our community of experienced givers and investors, ensuring alignment with both financial and impact goals. Each fund, depending on its focus area and type of capital, works with trusted partners (such as All Access or Calvin Edwards) to thoroughly evaluate the ministries and ventures receiving funding.
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.
FAQs
Why add Fund Management to Content and Community?
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.
Is this a new approach to solving problems?
Yes, these funds are both new and building on proven success. Collaborative efforts like Illuminations is demonstrating the power of focused capital, 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 and investors who want to accelerate solutions together.
How are the funds structured?
Each fund operates independently as its own Donor Advised Fund, with its own thesis, timeline and Investment Committee. While done in partnership with the ministry of Solving the World’s Greatest Problems, it functions as an independent fund led by its Investment Committee as they approve strategies for the fund to allocate, through giving and investing opportunities. All share our commitment to accelerating proven solutions. Fund Supporters can give into multiple funds based on their interests and capacity.
What makes SWGP Giving Funds different?
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.
Will you partner with other funds?
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.
Do fund managers give to projects or invest in companies?
Both. While the majority of funds will give charitable capital, Fund Managers can also recommend for-profit investments when it’s the best way to solve a problem. All returns flow back into the fund for future giving and reinvestment—creating a self-sustaining engine for impact.
Who makes the allocation decisions?
Each fund has a Fund Manager who recommends allocations to an Investment Committee.
How will I know the impact of the funds?
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.
What is the role of prayer at SWGP Giving Funds?
