Fund Liberated Futures Fund
Enter an amount and press. DAFpay connects to your own DAF provider and submits the grant recommendation with this fund already designated — you approve it inside your provider's system, under their rules.
Minimum $10,000. Your grant goes to Movement Strategy Center as this fund's fiscal sponsor — never to dafimpact.org. It is irrevocable once accepted.
Grant to this fund
The one-press route to Liberated Futures Fund is not available in this browser. It reaches the same place either way — add the fund to an allocation and we will send you the grant instructions for Movement Strategy Center, including the designation to use if your DAF provider asks for one.
The thesis
Why this fund exists.
Twenty-four organizations, four pillars, three years. The portfolio was assembled to test whether community-rooted organizations use flexible capital strategically when they are trusted with it rather than reporting on it. They did — and the loan cohort inside the portfolio repaid at 95–100%, which is the finding that made LFIF possible.
The grant portfolio stays open because the organizations in it are still building. A contribution here is a straightforward grant into a vetted, already-diligenced set of 24 grantees, with none of the work of assembling that set yourself.
How this fund deploys
The instruments, and what each one is for.
Matching the instrument to the stage is the whole discipline. A cooperative buying its building and a first-time manager raising an anchor commitment need different money, on different terms, with different definitions of return.

Two ways in, depending on how ready you are.
If you know where you want capital to land, press the button on that fund and your DAF provider takes it from there. If you would rather spread it, build an allocation across several funds and send the whole thing at once.
