What Moore Philanthropy does

Moore Philanthropy is a Black-owned, women-led hybrid organization headquartered in Denver, Colorado, operating since 2015 under founder Yvonne L. Moore. It is structured as two linked entities: Moore Philanthropy, an S-Corporation providing fee-based philanthropic advisory, and Moore Impact Inc., a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN: 84-4714243) that provides fiscal sponsorship and accepts grants. The firm serves high-net-worth individuals, families, institutions, and BIPOC-led nonprofits domestically and internationally, with named operational reach into Liberia, Nigeria, Kenya, and broader U.S. communities via a multilingual, multi-continent-experienced staff of approximately ten professionals.

The company's revenue mechanics rest on four streams: (1) fees from philanthropic advisory engagements, (2) recurring Donor-Advised Fund administration fees on a tiered AUM schedule (1.25% on first $100K, 1.00% on next $400K, 0.75% on next $500K, 1.25% above $1M, assessed quarterly) plus annual account fees ($500 for the Traditional DAF; $75 Year 1 / $125 Year 2 for the Mockingbird Account), (3) administrative fees on the 14 fiscally sponsored projects housed under Moore Impact, and (4) tax-deductible donations to the 501(c)(3) arm. Adjacent product lines include the African Diaspora Philanthropic Advisor (ADPA) Network, the Giving Infrastructure Fund (seeded $4.5M in 2025), the Power Champions Fund ($1.3M deployed in 2021 with Pivotal Ventures support), and the Ignite Community Power campaign.

Operating outcomes reported for 2025 include $40M in grants disbursed directly to more than 200 community-based NGOs and $60M in contributed revenue managed, though these figures represent pass-through flows under management rather than fee-bearing revenue to the firm. The 'technology' is operational infrastructure for grantmaking, fiscal sponsorship, and DAF administration — no proprietary software, AI, or model components are disclosed. Distribution is direct and consultative: events and thought leadership (Skoll World Forum, Global Philanthropy Forum, AGAG), podcasts, the ADPA Network, and inquiry-based website onboarding feed an inbound pipeline reviewed for 'alignment and capacity.'

Core offering

Moore Philanthropy is a Black-owned, women-led philanthropic advisory firm and public charity that connects donors of wealth to solution-oriented changemakers through three core services: (1) Philanthropic Advisory — strategic guidance and giving design for individuals, families, affinity groups, and corporations; (2) Fiscal Sponsorship via its 501(c)(3) arm Moore Impact — providing a tax-exempt vehicle for donor collaboratives, giving circles, advocacy initiatives, and urgent response funds to accept donations and make grants; and (3) Donor-Advised Fund administration (Traditional DAF and Mockingbird Account). The firm moves funds on behalf of donors and does not itself award grants to projects.
