DONATE TODAY
Decarbon8-US is an impact fund that accepts philanthropic donations and grants and makes equity and debt investments in early-stage companies aligned with decarbonization priorities. Deals are sourced through annual thematic calls for proposals launched in late Spring with the investments made in early Fall.
You can make donations a number of ways:
Who is involved?
Decarbon8-US leverages a diverse coalition of veteran E8 investors, subject matter experts, and E8 Fellows to determine the final portfolio of companies to be funded each year. The Fund is hosted and administered by Realize Impact, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
What happens to Returns?
For investments below $20,000, returns will be automatically reinvested in the Fund. For investments of $20,000 and above, investors have the option of reinvesting returns in the Fund or allocating returns to their Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or a public charity.
