The CHPF Impact Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of Crystal Hadnott Philanthropy & Fundraising (CHPF), dedicated to driving systemic change, advancing equity, and empowering nonprofits to maximize their social impact. Through three signature initiatives, the Foundation offers both direct funding and financial management support, ensuring that nonprofit organizations have the resources and strategic guidance they need to thrive.
The Circle of Impact is a collective giving initiative that allows individuals and corporations to pool their resources and provide unrestricted funding to CHPF’s nonprofit clients. By joining this giving circle, members contribute to a fund that empowers nonprofits to pursue mission-driven initiatives with flexibility and independence. The Circle of Impact fosters a community of engaged donors who receive exclusive updates, impact reports, and networking opportunities, deepening their connection to the causes they support.
The Impact Incubator Fund is a fiscal sponsor initiative that supports emerging organizations that do not yet have 501(c)(3) status by offering fiscal sponsorship services. Helping build the capacity of charitable projects, this initiative provides essential financial management and compliance oversight, enabling these organizations to accept tax-deductible donations and manage grants. By handling the administrative aspects, the Impact Incubator Fund allows organizations to focus on growth and advancing their missions while benefiting from expert guidance and resources.
The Empowerment Impact Fund is a grantmaking initiative that provides direct financial support to organizations focused on community building, sustainability, economic development, and equity. Through this initiative, we offer grants to empower nonprofits working toward systemic change and long-term impact in their communities. By fostering partnerships with innovative organizations, we ensure that our grants contribute to meaningful and sustainable growth. Recipients benefit from flexible funding, enabling them to drive mission-critical work.
The Impact Accelerator Program is designed to provide intensive capacity-building support and mentorship to nonprofit organizations, social enterprises, or charitable projects that demonstrate high potential for growth and innovation. This initiative would offer a cohort-based program that includes mentorship, strategic guidance, workshops, and tailored support to accelerate the impact of participating organizations. By fostering collaboration and providing expert training in areas such as fundraising, program development, operations, and leadership, the Impact Accelerator Program equips nonprofits with the tools they need to scale their impact, drive systemic change, and achieve long-term sustainability. Organizations in the accelerator can access special funding opportunities, including seed grants and introductions to key donors and partners, positioning them for future success beyond the program.
Collectively, the Circle of Impact, Impact Incubator Fund, Empowerment Impact Fund, and Impact Accelerator Program create a comprehensive support system for organizations at every stage of their development. The Circle of Impact provides immediate, unrestricted funding to client partners, empowering them to advance mission-driven initiatives. The Impact Incubator Fund supports emerging organizations by building a strong foundation for success through fiscal sponsorship services. The Empowerment Impact Fund offers grants to any organization focused on community building, sustainability, economic development, and equity through a competitive grant application process. The Impact Accelerator Program provides intensive mentorship, strategic guidance, and capacity-building support to high-potential organizations, helping them scale their impact and drive systemic change.
United under the CHPF Impact Foundation, these initiatives provide both financial resources and strategic expertise, ensuring long-term, impactful growth for nonprofits and charitable projects.
At Crystal Hadnott Philanthropy & Fundraising, we are deeply committed to creating sustainable, long-lasting impact. To demonstrate our dedication to the causes we support, we allocate 10% of our annual operating budget directly to the CHPF Impact Foundation. This financial commitment fuels the Foundation’s initiatives, empowering us to advance the missions of the nonprofits we serve and drive systemic change.
By aligning our own operations with our social impact goals, we embody the values we advocate for and ensure that our actions reflect our mission. Every dollar we allocate strengthens the foundation’s ability to make a difference, amplifying the impact of our work.
