$10,000 Matching Grant in play!
This North Texas Giving Day, SWAN has a goal to raise $20,000—and thanks to a generous anonymous donor, the first $10,000 donated will be matched dollar for dollar.
Many talented entrepreneurs still face barriers to accessing the funding, networks, and resources needed to grow their businesses. SWAN is helping change that reality. Thirty-nine percent of our investments have gone to underrepresented founders, significantly exceeding national averages.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, SWAN helps founders access education, mentorship, investor connections, and opportunities to build businesses that create positive social and environmental impact. Together, we can help build a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Since 2015, SWAN has supported startups tackling challenges in environmental innovation, healthcare, and community development—helping entrepreneurs turn bold ideas into meaningful impact.
Early giving begins August 27, and North Texas Giving Day is September 17.
Double your impact today and help founders thrive.

SWAN Impact Network unites, educates, and empowers founders and impact investors who believe both positive impact and strong financial return are equally vital.
By donating to SWAN Impact Network, you can help multiply the impact that we are having on the world. Donations will enable us to continue to build a sustainable and professional organization that can connect talented entrepreneurs with impact investors who share their vision and provide educational and networking opportunities and mentorship to both entrepreneurs and interested individuals learning how to navigate the startup landscape.
We recognize that women and people of color startup founders have been underfunded by the startup investment community. More than a third of investments made my our Angels have gone to these disadvantaged founders. Additionally, nearly half of our team comes from underrepresented backgrounds.
