Join Us

Whether you volunteer your time, share your expertise, or provide financial support, your involvement strengthens our mission.

Participate With Purpose. Invest With Discipline.

Purpose Forward Foundation exists to make meaningful, measurable change for people and causes in genuine need.

Joining Purpose Forward means choosing to participate in that mission—not as a passive donor, but as part of a disciplined, pooled effort focused on real outcomes.

What It Means to Join Purpose Forward

When you join Purpose Forward, you are not funding a single transaction.

You are participating in a managed, pooled philanthropic effort designed to:

Concentrate resources where they matter.
Reduce waste and duplication.
Maintain accountability after funds are deployed.
Improve lives through sustained engagement.

Your contribution becomes part of a broader effort—one that is intentional by design and measured by results.

Why Pooled Participation Matters

Most charitable giving happens in isolation.

While well-intentioned, isolated giving often:

Lacks scale.
Lacks visibility into outcomes.
Ends when the check clears.

Purpose: Forward pools capital so that:

Individual contributions gain leverage.
Causes receive funding that actually matters.
Organizations engage with partners, not just donors.
Progress can be observed, evaluated, and improved.

Pooling is not about control.

It is about effectiveness.

Who Joins Purpose Forward

Purpose Forward is built for individuals and families who:

Have reached financial independence.
Care deeply about outcomes, not optics.
Dislike waste and inefficiency.
Want their resources to create real improvement.

While many participants are Baby Boomers, this is not a generational club.

It is a values-based commitment to disciplined, purposeful action.

How Contributions Are Used

All contributions are:

Directed toward clearly defined focus areas.
Deployed according to PFF’s disciplined investment approach.
Reviewed for effectiveness and alignment.
Documented transparently.

Purpose Forward intentionally limits the number of active investments so each one receives meaningful attention and oversight.

Ways to Participate

There are several ways to join Purpose Forward and make a meaningful contribution. In all cases, your participation will be handled with the level of confidentiality you expect.

If at any point you would rather speak directly with someone, please contact Jeff Ott by phone or email.

We currently welcome charitable participation in the following ways:

By Check – A traditional and simple way to make your contribution.
By Donor-Advised Fund – A convenient option for donors who already manage charitable giving through a DAF.
By Transfer of Appreciated Assets – For donors interested in giving in a tax-efficient manner through highly appreciated securities or other assets.
