CHPF Impact Foundation
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.
Our Initiatives
Circle of Impact
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.
Impact Incubator Fund
The Impact Incubator Fund is a dynamic initiative designed to support emerging and early-stage charitable projects. This fund provides fiscal sponsorship services to organizations without 501(c)(3) status, offering vital financial management and compliance oversight. Through our fiscal sponsorship, organizations can accept tax-deductible donations, manage grants, and focus on growth with confidence.
In addition, the Impact Incubator Fund includes a unique incubator program to empower early-stage organizations that have promising concepts but require guidance to develop their models and structures. By providing mentorship, foundational training, and access to resources, we help these innovators establish strong, sustainable frameworks. The Impact Incubator Fund enables participants to concentrate on advancing their missions, backed by expert support and comprehensive resources at every step of their journey.
Impact Accelerator Program
The Impact Accelerator Program propels nonprofit organizations, social enterprises, and charitable projects with proven potential for growth and innovation to their next level of impact. Designed as a cohort-based initiative, this program offers comprehensive, hands-on support through expert mentorship, strategic guidance, and a series of targeted workshops.
Participants engage in a transformative journey that strengthens their core capacities in areas such as fundraising, program development, operational efficiency, and leadership. Through collaborative learning and tailored training, the Impact Accelerator equips organizations with the tools and strategies they need to drive systemic change and achieve enduring sustainability.
In addition to skill-building, organizations in the accelerator benefit from exclusive funding opportunities, including seed grants and introductions to key donors and partners. By the program’s end, participants are poised for sustainable growth, ready to expand their impact and succeed well beyond the accelerator experience.

At Crystal Hadnott Philanthropy & Fundraising, we are deeply committed to creating sustainable, long-lasting impact.
