| Part IV, Section A, Line 6: Description Of Grants Or Provided Benefits To Others | On January 25, 2019, Underdog Foundation lent Nonprofit Enterprise and Self-Sustainability Team, Inc. ("NESsT"), a Maryland nonprofit corporation, $107,000 at 3% interest. The note matures on January 25, 2022. Since January, NESsT has paid $87,103.06 of principal, leaving a balance of $19,896.94 at December 31, 2020. Underdog Foundation also provides additional technical assistance, grants, and support to organizations other than the supported organization. |
| Part IV, Section A, Line 9b: Disqualified Persons Holding Controlling Interest In Same Entity As Sup | David Berge, President, served as the managing member of Underdog Ventures LLC, and Underdog Foundation has an interest in Underdog Ventures LLC. |
| 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 | A Tides Foundation appointed member participated as an active Board member in discussing the financials and participating in financial and investment decisions. The CEO of the Underdog Foundation met to discuss strategy and collaboration with the Tides Foundation's deputy Chief of Staff CEO and CFO. That meeting included an extensive conversation about the background, focus and priorities of the Underdog Foundation, along with thoughts by the Tides Foundation about where these overlap with the Tides Foundation's work. In addition, the CEO met by phone with Harris Bostic, a Senior Advisor at Tides, about the Center for Working Families Fund at Tides. We ended up making a grant to support that fund's work with the Frontline Election Defenders. We discussed potential collaborations going forward and he provided us with some details about his work with Tides. |
| Part IV, Section E, Line 2a: Identify Supported Orgs. and Explain How Activities Furthered Exempt Pu | Substantially all the activities of the Underdog Foundation support the work of the Tides Foundation. In 2020, the primary program of the Underdog Foundation was the Underdog Foundation Impact Award Winners program. Through this program, we identify high-impact (social and environmental) high-integrity intermediaries, impact investors and social enterprises/social ventures. We look for those ready to evolve, capable of taking advice and capable of 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 winner (New Media Ventures) is a grantmaking partner of the Tides Foundation. Others include a community loan fund, a social enterprise fund and a sustainable agriculture organization focused on low-income women. The Underdog Foundation works relentlessly to build the infrastructure of intermediaries (community investment groups and CDFIs) who will push more lending and investment into under-served, diverse and low income communities. That work helps make those groups grant-ready and investible by the Tides Foundation and its DAF-holders. One example, NESsT, an Underdog Foundation Impact Award Winner and community loan fund supporting entrepreneurs in under-invested regions of Latin America, was later supported by a DAF holder at the Tides Foundation. Impact and Community Investment Investors: Both the Underdog Foundation and the Tides Foundation are committed to looking not just to the smaller philanthropic dollars of wealthy families and institution, but to put the most possible amount of assets to work to meet our charitable mission. To this design, Underdog Foundation has been an innovator and field-builder in constructing lending, venture investing and blended value models and encouraging wealthy families and foundations to maximize the assets they deploy consistent with their impact goals, and our 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, 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 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. That work is increased by the support of the Underdog Foundation, as increasing effectiveness in those areas is a special expertise of our foundation. |
