#### **Ken Hunt | Collective Philanthropy for Mental Health & Wellbeing**
Impact investors want to deploy philanthropic capital into mental health, behavioral health, and human services. Most don't know how to do it strategically.
Not from lack of resources—but from lack of sector expertise, limited access to exceptional nonprofits, and the reality that $1M spread across 25 organizations creates $40k grants too small to transform.
The result: scattered capital, hundreds of hours spent researching, and unrealized impact potential.
Most impact investors have tried the usual approaches—general philanthropic advisors lacking sector depth, researching nonprofits themselves, or relying on Donor-Advised Fund providers who don't curate or conduct due diligence. What they haven't found is a trusted advisor with deep expertise across mental health, behavioral health, and human services—who can pool capital for leverage, curate exceptional nonprofits, and measure real impact.
I manage the Innergiving Fund—pooling philanthropic capital from impact investors to deploy transformational grants to vetted nonprofits across mental health, behavioral health, and human services.

### ▸INNERGIVING FUND MANAGEMENT
**Annual Contribution:** $1M+ to Innergiving Fund (Charityvest Donor-Advised Community Fund)
**Management Fee:** $75,000/year (flat fee)
***
### ▸ECOSYSTEM CONNECTIONS
While philanthropic fund management is my core offering, I also serve as a connector across the mental health capital ecosystem.
I take conversations with for-profit founders, facilitate introductions to investors, and help create collaborations between companies and nonprofits—but I don't provide investment-grade due diligence or manage for-profit portfolios.
This ecosystem knowledge benefits Innergiving Fund investors—you gain insight into emerging innovations, potential nonprofit partnerships, and the broader mental health landscape.
**Just relationship-building that creates value for everyone.**
***
### ▸HOW COLLECTIVE PHILANTHROPY CREATES LEVERAGE
* Your capital is pooled with other impact investors → **Initial fund: $6M-$10M+ annually** (fund will grow over time).
* I curate and vet 25-30 exceptional nonprofits across mental health, behavioral health, and human services. The pool grows as the fund grows.
* Each organization receives **$200k-$400k grants** (vs. $40k if you deployed $1M alone).
* **5-10x leverage** through pooling—transformational grants instead of incremental support.
***
### ▸WHAT'S INCLUDED
**Professional Nonprofit Curation**
* Identify pooled organizations worthy of significant support across mental health treatment, addiction recovery, trauma healing, supportive housing, family services, and programs serving vulnerable populations (number of organizations supported will grow as fund grows)
* Access to networks and relationships built over decades
* Organizations you'd never find through public databases
**Rigorous Due Diligence**
* Leadership assessment: Can they execute, scale, and sustain impact under pressure?
* Program evaluation: Is the model evidence-based and effective?
* Financial health: Sustainable operations? Efficient use of resources?
* Organizational capacity: Ready to absorb and deploy $200k-$400k effectively?
* Impact measurement: Are outcomes real, measurable, and meaningful?
**Strategic Grant Deployment**
* $200k-$400k grants to each organization (transformational scale)
* Multi-year unrestricted commitments where appropriate
* Portfolio balance across subsectors, populations served, and geographic reach
**Ongoing Impact Monitoring**
* Quarterly check-ins with each funded organization
* Real-time tracking of outcomes and challenges
* Adaptive management based on what's working
**Quarterly Impact Reports**
* Measurable outcomes across the portfolio (lives impacted, services delivered)
* Stories and data (qualitative + quantitative)
* Transparency on what's working and what's not
* Clear reporting: "Your capital contributed to X outcomes across Y people"
**Nonprofit Ecosystem Access**
* Board opportunities with funded organizations
* Deep relationships with mission-aligned organizations
**Professional Fund Management**
* Charityvest handles all legal compliance and grant distribution
* Immediate tax deduction for contributions
* Transparent accounting and reporting
***
**TAX ADVANTAGE:**
Immediate deduction for annual contribution. Charityvest Donor-Advised Community Fund structure provides maximum tax efficiency.
***
### ▸WHO THIS IS FOR
**Impact investors deploying $1M+ annually in philanthropic grants:**
* **Family offices** (single and multi-family)
* **Private foundations**
* **High-net-worth individuals** (philanthropically active)
* **Impact funds** (nonprofit-focused)
**Common characteristics:**
* Passionate about mental health, behavioral health, and/or human services
* Want professional management of philanthropic capital
* Seeking leverage and transformational impact (not just scattered grants)
* Value strategic deployment over transactional giving
* Open to pooled approach (comfortable co-investing with others)
* Willing to commit for 3-5 years (ensures nonprofit continuity)
***
### ▸WHY THIS WORKS
**WITHOUT INNERGIVING FUND:**
You deploy $1M yourself:
* $1M ÷ 25 orgs = **$40k grants**
* $40k is helpful but not transformational
* You spend **200-300 hours** researching and vetting
* No professional due diligence framework
* Limited access to exceptional organizations
* No ongoing impact monitoring
* Transactional relationships (write check, move on)
**WITH INNERGIVING FUND:**
You contribute $1M + $75k management fee:
* Your $1M pooled with others = **$6M-$10M+ fund**
* $6M-$10M ÷ 25-30 orgs = **$200k-$400k grants**
* Number of organizations in pool grows as fund grows.
* **5-10x more impact per grant**
* You spend **4-6 hours/year** (quarterly calls, annual convening)
* Professional due diligence on every organization
* Access to curated portfolio of exceptional nonprofits
* Quarterly impact monitoring and reporting
* Deep relationships with mission-aligned organizations
**THE VALUE:**
* **Impact:** 5-10x leverage through pooling
* **Time:** Save 250+ hours/year
* **Access:** Organizations you'd never find alone
* **Expertise:** 30+ years operational experience + deep sector knowledge
* **Confidence:** Know your capital is deployed strategically
* **Community:** Network of like-minded impact investors
***
### ▸WHY I'M DIFFERENT
Most philanthropic advisors provide strategy but lack deep sector knowledge.
Most Donor-Advised Fund providers handle tax and legal but don't curate nonprofits or conduct due diligence.
Most impact consultants offer frameworks but don't have decades of operational experience evaluating organizations.
**I integrate all of this.**
I've built companies, led operations as SVP, served on boards, and carried the weight of high-stakes decisions for 30+ years. I've also done a decade of deep personal work in mental health—understanding how trauma, leadership under pressure, and organizational dynamics actually work, not just in theory but from lived experience.
That integration allows me to evaluate what others miss:
* **Can this leadership team execute under pressure?** (Not just: do they have impressive credentials?)
* **Will this organization scale sustainably?** (Not just: are the programs well-designed?)
* **Is the culture healthy and aligned?** (Not just: do the outcomes look good?)
* **Will this grant create transformational impact?** (Not just: does the mission sound compelling?)
Most philanthropic advisors evaluate nonprofits through 990 forms and websites.
**I evaluate them through pattern recognition**—30+ years of operational experience seeing what predicts organizational success and what predicts failure.
***

This is an ongoing partnership, not a one-time engagement.
**COMMITMENT:**

### ▸ABOUT KEN
**Ken Hunt** | **Mental Health Portfolio Architect**
I manage the Innergiving Fund—pooling philanthropic capital from impact investors to deploy transformational grants across mental health, behavioral health, and human services.
My work integrates 30+ years of financial and operational leadership with deep sector knowledge and lived experience.
I've built companies, led operations as SVP, served on boards, and deployed capital across finance, strategy, and organizational development. I've carried the weight of high-stakes decisions firsthand—I know what organizational success and failure look like.
A triple bypass forced a reckoning I could no longer ignore. Over the past decade, my work has deepened to include mental health—not as theory, but as lived experience. I understand how trauma shapes leadership, how pressure reveals organizational capacity, and how human dynamics actually work beneath the surface.
What became clear: **strategic philanthropy isn't just about finding good nonprofits—it requires seeing clearly what predicts organizational success: leadership capacity under pressure, operational coherence, and readiness to scale.**
Today, I work with a small number of impact investors as their Mental Health Portfolio Architect, managing the Innergiving Fund to pool philanthropic capital and deploy it strategically—creating transformational impact across mental health, behavioral health, and human services.
The Innergiving Fund is managed in partnership with CharityVest Community Funds, a 501(c)(3) Donor-Advised Fund provider handling all legal compliance and grant distribution.
The Triple Bypass That Changed Everything
At 54, after three decades of high-performance leadership, my body sent a message I couldn’t ignore. The triple bypass wasn’t just a medical event, it was a wake-up call. I had spent years optimizing for external success while ignoring the internal cost.
What followed wasn’t retirement. It was reconstruction.
Over the next decade, I did the work most leaders avoid, understanding how unprocessed pressure, nervous system patterns, and unexamined dynamics shape everything we build. Not to become a therapist, but to understand what I had been missing as a leader.
That experience changed how I see leadership.
Sustainable leadership isn’t about working harder or being tougher. It’s about seeing clearly, both in the business and within yourself, and learning to lead from presence rather than pressure.
Today, I work with founders and CEOs navigating similar complexity, helping them see clearly, decide wisely, and lead sustainably, without needing a crisis to force the conversation.
