Vanguard Charitable

The power of a grant, amplified

Ready to catalyze your grantmaking?

Nonprofit organizations rely on your grant support to meet their mission. Now, you can complement your grantmaking with a unique philanthropic approach designed to help nonprofits scale their impact – recoverable grants.

Recoverable grants are just what they sound like – a grant that can potentially return capital to your donor advised fund account. Donors can use recoverable grants to fund specific revenue-generating programs and initiatives – and if the nonprofit achieves their goals, the organization then returns the money to your donor advised fund account, where it can be used for additional grantmaking.

In partnership with CapShift, an industry-leading platform for catalytic philanthropy, Premier donors with Vanguard Charitable can now discover, recommend, and monitor recoverable grants through your Vanguard Charitable account.
