What Are Cause Mutual Funds?
Influencers hold the power to inspire change and create meaningful connections with their audiences. However, navigating the complexities of philanthropy can be challenging. Cause Mutual Funds™, integrated into Encast Inspire™, offer a transformative way to simplify giving, amplify impact, and deepen engagement with your fans.
Cause Mutual Funds™ work much like financial mutual funds but are tailored for philanthropy. They group nonprofits with shared missions into curated portfolios. This enables donors to support multiple causes with a single transaction, making philanthropy more streamlined and impactful.
For example, instead of choosing one nonprofit to champion, influencers can support an entire ecosystem of organizations tackling the same issue, such as education or environmental sustainability.

How Can Cause Mutual Funds™ Help Authenticity?
Influencers often struggle to balance brand authenticity with meaningful giving efforts. Cause Mutual Funds™ offer a solution:
Streamlined Giving Made Simple
Traditional giving often involves juggling multiple campaigns and highlighting individual causes. With Cause Mutual Funds™, donors make a single transaction to support a curated portfolio of nonprofits. For instance, an influencer passionate about climate change can offer fans the opportunity to contribute to a fund supporting research, conservation, and sustainable development—all in one streamlined donation. This innovative approach makes philanthropy simpler, more accessible, and deeply impactful. Additionally, Encast Inspire™ equips influencers with detailed analytics, showcasing the tangible outcomes of donations to build trust and transparency with their audience.
Deeper Engagement With Audiences
By sharing stories of collective impact, influencers can inspire their followers to join them in giving and engage more authentically with them. As a result, influencers build stronger connections and increase loyalty.
Equitable Philanthropy
In 2017, Encast analyzed the 1099 tax returns of the then-available 501(c)(3)s. Our findings made our mouths drop. A staggering 90% of the $400 billion donated that year was distributed to just 10% of the country’s 1.8 million organizations. This disparity highlights the need for a more equitable and impactful funding environment. Influencer-drive Cause Mutual Funds™ play a crucial role in achieving this by ensuring that smaller nonprofits receive funding alongside larger organizations. Importantly, nonprofits that have demonstrated positive outcomes are rewarded with increased funding from an influencer’s audience, empowering them to continue their impactful work.
Take the Lead in Social Impact
Philanthropy doesn’t have to be complicated. By adopting Cause Mutual Funds™, influencers can align their giving with their brand values and audience interests.
Encast Inspire™ allows influencers to focus on what they do best—building meaningful connections while leading the way in social change.
Here’s why this matters:
Simplified Management: Reduce the hassle of organizing separate campaigns.
Stronger Community: Empower followers to deepen engagement and join in collective action.
