Investing Close to Home to Build Intergenerational Wealth
ImpactAssets is enabling donor‑advised‑fund (DAF) investors to make direct loans to underserved entrepreneurs in Nashville. Former CFO Sallie Bailey has leveraged her $350,000 DAF to fund 15 small‑business loans, starting at $25,000, through ImpactAssets’ Client Recommended Investment service. Partnering with Vanderbilt graduate students for due‑diligence, the program blends charitable capital with hands‑on community support. The approach aims to build credit histories and intergenerational wealth for founders who lack traditional financing.
