Finance and community development are too often viewed as opposing forces

Small nonprofits lack the capacity to assess the outcomes of their initiatives.

Few opportunities for students to explore the intersection of

for-profit and nonprofit worlds

The UP Fund bridges investment and community service unlike any other student organization using a two-pronged approach:

Managing an investment portfolio and using our returns to provide grants to nonprofits

Helping nonprofits analyze efficacy of their efforts to better position them for large grants

Manage a portfolio

Use returns to

provide grants

Use metrics to evaluate and help non-profits
