| Part IV, Section A, Line 9c: Disqualified Persons Ownership Interest In Assets Of Same Entity As Sup | David Berge, President, served as the managing member of Underdog Ventures LLC. Underdog Foundation has an ownership interest, through contributed securities, in Underdog Ventures LLC. |
| Part IV, Section D, Line 3: Role The Organization's Supported Orgs. Played | The Underdog Foundation is responsive to the needs of the Tides Foundation. We have a 20 plus year supporting relationship. The Tides Foundation has the right to choose one Underdog Foundation board member annually. That member is currently Drummond Pike, the founder of Tides. The Tides representative board member represents the Tides Foundation and participates in conversations regarding finance, strategy and priorities, and sees Underdog Foundation investments, programs and grants. Currently, Joel Solomon, a former Tides Foundation board member, also sits on the Underdog Foundation board. There are a total of five board members.The CEO of the Underdog Foundation has met with several CEOs and senior staff members of the Tides Foundation over the years, looking at ways to collaborate, innovate and support. On March 9, 2023 the CEO of the Underdog Foundation met with Dan Shannon, Chief Partnerships Officer, Suneela Jain, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, and Peter Martin, Executive Director to discuss the two organizations shared history and go-forward strategies.The CEO of the Underdog Foundation highlighted ways in which the Tides Foundation and Underdog Foundation have worked together historically and got feedback from Tides about the Underdog Foundations current work (impact investing and advice and community investing and in helping increase the charitable impact of wealthy families). Peter noted the challenges of the supporting org structure and we committed to a follow-up conversation on that issue. |
| Part IV, Section E, Line 2a: Identify Supported Orgs. and Explain How Activities Furthered Exempt Pu | As a functionally integrated Type III supporting organization, we understand that our support of the Tides Foundation is important, and substantially all the programs of the Underdog Foundation support the mission of the Tides Foundation. The impact investments, grants, and more importantly the advice and capacity building provided by the Underdog Foundation builds the infrastructure, increases the social, environmental and financial impact, and readies these non-profits for grants and investments. But for the work of the Underdog Foundation, the Tides Foundation would have to increase its social change work in those areas. The work and leadership of the Underdog Foundation in advocating more wealthy impact investors direct money to social justice and community development intermediaries and social ventures, and in creating effective deal and fund structures and organizations in those areas means that the Tides Foundation can focus even more on investments and grants by Tides and its donors into organizations with high impact and strong structures. Our work with mission-related entrepreneurs who donate parts of their companies early in the companys life helps to create a next generation of donors and potential DAF-holders. Over the last several years, the importance of impact investing, social ventures and socially responsible investing have really increased at the Tides Foundation. Given the special expertise of the Underdog Foundation on capital structure, deal structure, fund structure and community investing, we hope that creates opportunities for increasing collaboration with the Tides Foundation. The Underdog Foundation provides advice to asset owners, intermediaries and entrepreneurs. Through that program, we identify high impact (social and environmental) intermediaries, impact investors and social enterprises/social ventures. We look for those ready to evolve, capable of taking advice and increasing impact, and provide them with deep advice on financial and capital structures, negotiations, strategy and operations. Some of the groups we have chosen as winners do work supported by the Tides Foundation. One previous Underdog Foundation Impact Award winner (New Media Ventures) also became a grantmaking partner of the Tides Foundation. Another example is our work with entrepreneurs who gift a part of their companys equity to support philanthropic work. We help those companies to increase their charitable impact. Previously, AltruShare Securities (a majority non-profit owned brokerage firm, founded to support community investing, with our assistance, donated 1/3 of their equity to the Tides Foundation to support diverse entrepreneurship and 1/3 to the Underdog Foundation to support community investing. This resulted in distributions to Tides and the Underdog Foundation of $970,000 of cash during the life of the company and provided an example for other companies.The work done by the Underdog Foundation to relentlessly build the infrastructure of intermediaries (community investment groups and CDFIs) will push more lending and investment into low-income communities. Our work helps make those groups investment and grant-ready by the Tides Foundation and its DAF holders. Our work with social enterprises and diverse, change-making non-profits prepares them for donors in the Tides community.Both the Tides Foundation and the Underdog Foundation are committed to getting wealthy families and institutions move more of their assets and investments to be consistent with and enhancing their charitable mission. |
| Part IV, Section E, Line 2b: Reasons For The Organization's Position | Substantially all the programs of the Underdog Foundation support the mission of the Tides Foundation. The grants, and more importantly the advice provided by the Underdog Foundation builds the infrastructure, increases the social, environmental and financial impact, and readies these non-profits for grants and investments. But for the work of the Underdog Foundation, the Tides Foundation would have to increase its social change work in those areas. The work and leadership of the Underdog Foundation in advocating more wealthy impact investors direct money to social justice and community development intermediaries and social ventures, and in creating effective deal structures and organizations in those areas, means that the Tides Foundation can focus even more on investments and grants by Tides and its donors into organizations with high impact and strong structures. Our work with impact entrepreneurs who donate parts of their companies early in the companys life helps to create a next generation of donors and potential DAF holders. Our work with wealthy families to look deeply and innovatively at impact, helps to create a next generation of potential Tides Foundation donors. And our work with high-integrity world-changing entrepreneurs helps them prepare for donor-funds, and to use-donor funds more effectively for more impact. But for that work by the Underdog Foundation, the Tides Foundation would have less resources available to support its goals and maximize its impact.The Tides Foundation is committed to help donors make a difference in historically excluded groups and communities with their philanthropic dollars and impact investment dollars. But for the work and innovation of the Underdog Foundation in those areas, using and leveraging philanthropic dollars, advice and impact investment to maximize change, the Tides Foundation and its donors and partners would have less opportunities to support marginalized communities and less help with organizations in those communities. Tides Foundations effectiveness is increased by the support of the Underdog Foundation building new models and capital structures which will make the Tides Foundations work in these areas more impactful and effective. But for the work of the Underdog Foundation, DAF holders at the Tides Foundation would have fewer and less effective impact investment and grant opportunities. |
