Hey guys!
We are CAF (Cultivate Acadeci Fortune), and we are thrilled to announce our commitment to the Pledge 1% movement.
We are not a typical startup; we are the philanthropic spin-off of the Clarendon Arbitrage Fund, one of Europe's largest arbitrage funds that historically served Sovereign Wealth Funds, Pension Funds, Family Offices, and UHNW individuals. We are channeling this institutional expertise into a new mission: building a Perpetual Capital Engine to Fuel Global Philanthropy.
CAF's Pledge
Our Pledge 1% commitment is to dedicate our pro bono services and employee time to charitable foundations. Our service is unique and leverages our financial roots:
We help foundations create consistent, reliable yield.
We do this by monetizing the $3.8 Trillion daily hedging flow and convert this stable institutional demand into reliable, low-risk income.
This expertise is designed to extend their charitable runway and help them escape the "crisis of perpetual fundraising".
Our DNA and Believe
We believe every dollar created through this perpetual engine has the potential to change an individual's life.
Our goal of sponsoring 194,000 students by 2035.
We are turning financial engineering into a machine for social good.
I am personally inspired by Daniel Petre, who once told me, "If what we do can make a person's life better, we are successful." This is the measure of success we now apply to CAF and if we all do what we can, the world will be a much better place than we found it.
