Everything you need to know.
Showing standard answers while we refresh the published questions.
Is this gift tax-deductible?
Gifts may be tax-deductible for eligible donors; deductibility depends on your circumstances and funding method and is not guaranteed. Consult your tax advisor or email [email protected].
What can they recommend?
Recipients can recommend investments in women-led ventures, clean technology, BIPOC-led ventures, and other for-profit ventures aligned with what they care about. CataCap makes the investments. Any capital returned remains charitable in the recipient's CataCap account and may support future impact.
Will my recipient receive cash?
No. The gift provides charitable capital through CataCap; it is not cash the recipient can withdraw or spend personally. The recipient recommends which causes and opportunities the charitable capital supports; CataCap makes the investments.
How can I fund the gift?
You can give through a donor-advised fund or foundation, contribute stock, cryptocurrency, or other assets, or make a bank transfer or credit card payment.
How and when does my recipient receive the gift?
First, you’ll choose the desired occasion. Then, after funding, CataCap prepares a personalized invitation for you to share. CataCap does not send the initial invitation on your behalf.
Does this affect my own portfolio?
No. It's charitable money set aside for giving, separate from your investments.
Is there a minimum amount?
Yes, and it is $250 per person.
Most gifts get unwrapped once. This one keeps giving.
