Calvert Giving Fund
What if you could give a lasting gift that could be leveraged 20 times over to help end poverty?
You can. Your Giftshares donation is leveraged 20 times over, helping hard-working, determined people lift themselves out of poverty. GiftShares support communities in two ways:
- Your gift funds essential capital reserves needed for us to grow our high-impact community lending program. The most exciting aspect is that we can leverage dollars 20 times the original value of your gift.
- GiftShares also allow us to invest in riskier projects that may fall outside our portfolio's eligibility criteria, but have the potential to make a significant difference. The

Make a donation in your name or in honor of a loved one. Once a year, you'll receive reports on the social impact of your donation. GiftShares build lasting impact and are fully tax-deductible.*
