Election Candidate: Founders Pledge (Patient Philanthropy Fund)
The Patient Philanthropy Fund invests contributions and will deploy funds when they are needed most to safeguard and improve the long-term future.
The Patient Philanthropy Fund takes a patient approach to philanthropy: it invests contributions until the time is optimal for it to make large grants aimed at improving the long-term future.
In addition to identifying the highest-impact giving opportunities at any particular point in time, it aims to identify the point in time when the highest-impact opportunities are available — which may be years, decades, or even centuries ahead.
