A nimble platform for bold philanthropy—moving money with urgency, removing barriers for orgs, and enabling catalytic giving.

Phīla Venture Fund, (“PVF”), is the charitable arm of the philanthropic advisory firm Phīla Engaged Giving (www.philagiving.com). PVF is a nimble 501(c)(3) that moves money to communities with urgency and care. We remove barriers for donors, support bold, trust-based giving, and offer a platform for catalytic work—no nonprofit status required. PVF also helps carry out donors’ long-term giving plans by serving as trustee or beneficiary for charitable trusts, bequests, and other estate gifts. Here's what we do:

**Fiscal Sponsorship**

PVF supports mission-driven programs and campaigns that don’t have their own 501(c)(3) status. Our services include:

- Accepting tax-deductible contributions
- Issuing donor receipts and handling disbursements
- Managing compliance and reporting
- Supporting both short-term initiatives and long-term efforts

**Philanthropic Collaborations**

We help groups of donors combine their resources into a shared fund guided by a common vision. PVF can also facilitate **participatory grantmaking** by empowering a committee of field leaders and stakeholders to guide funding decisions. We can help donors:

- Create a shared vision and structure for giving
- Engage stakeholders from affected communities
- Move money quickly and with strategic alignment

**Charitable Bequest & Trustee Services**

PVF serves as a trusted fiduciary for estates or trusts to ensure our clients’ philanthropic values are carried out with care and clarity. We work closely with our clients’ advisors and family to relieve them of administrative burden while honoring their intent. We can:

- Serve as the charitable beneficiary of gifts made through wills or trusts—including cash, stock, real estate, donor-advised funds, retirement accounts, and more—and distribute those assets in alignment with your values and priorities
- Serve as trustee of charitable trusts—managing investments and overseeing distributions in alignment with your values and giving strategy
