Philanthropic impact investing is the gift that keeps on giving! 
Here’s how it works:

1. You make a charitable donation of any amount to Decarbon8-US through E8’s 501(c)(3) partner Realize Impact

2. Decarbon8-US uses contributions to make equity and debt investments in early-stage companies aligned with decarbonization priorities. We use investor and sector expertise to select the most promising 3-4 cleantech company from a pool of applicants to receive funding. 

3. The winning cleantech companies use the funds to help transform our energy system and create a more sustainable world!  

4. When the companies exit, returns on investments from donations under $20,000 are automatically reinvested into the fund - magnifying their impact and uplifting more innovative solutions in subsequent rounds. 

Donate today to make an ongoing impact in creating a cleaner and greener future! 
Decarbon8-US is run annually by E8 each summer. This year’s theme is renewable energy. 
Anyone, at any amount, can donate at https://lnkd.in/g8-Hc_yR to be a part of transformative change.
