Help Impact Founders Thrive
Double Your Impact: $15,000 Matching Grant
Early giving begins August 27. North Texas Giving Day is September 17.
This North Texas Giving Day, SWAN has a goal to raise $30,000 to help more impact founders thrive. Thanks to SWAN members Chris & Donna Young and a generous anonymous donor, the first $15,000 donated will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
Every year, promising entrepreneurs struggle to access the capital, expertise, and connections they need to grow. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, SWAN helps bridge that gap—connecting impact-driven founders with investors, mentors, education, expertise, and opportunities to help their companies succeed.
And our reach is growing: Since the beginning of 2025, more than 820 people have registered for SWAN pitch events alone, and 39% of SWAN investments have gone to underrepresented founders.
When impact founders thrive, their impact spreads—improving healthcare, protecting our environment, strengthening communities, and creating new opportunities.
Double your impact. Help impact founders thrive.
