Rewiring Capital: Activating $300B for Ownership and Economic Transformation

Over $326 billion sits in Donor Advised Funds across the U.S., while the communities and opportunities donors care most about remain undercapitalized. Project Wellspring (a regenerative impact investor and DAF platform), Inspire Access (mobilizing philanthropic capital to underrepresented asset managers), and BlackAcre (an affordable workforce housing fund) are each tackling this challenge from a distinct angle. Together, they show what it looks like when philanthropic capital is activated, routed, and deployed into communities that need it most—presenting not only their individual approaches, but how their partnership is creating new pathways for capital to flow into projects that restore ownership and drive economic opportunity.
