Citrine Impact: Expanding Opportunities for Women Investors and Founders

We’re proud to announce Citrine Impact, our new charitable nonprofit dedicated to expanding opportunities for women investors and founders. Citrine Impact will operate alongside Citrine Angels, our angel investing organization, to advance a shared mission:  more women investing in more women, and expanding access to wealth creation across the startup ecosystem.

This evolution reflects our commitment to equity and sustainability. As Citrine’s community and influence have grown, so has the need for a structure that supports our educational and community-driven work while allowing membership to remain accessible and allow for maximum participation among accredited women.

Through Citrine Impact — our new 501(c)(3) arm — we’ll unlock new sources of tax deductible support, including individual donations and public and private grants. These funds will directly fuel programs that educate, connect, and empower women to invest with confidence and purpose.

Why Citrine Impact Matters

Over the next decade, $30 trillion in wealth is expected to shift into the hands of women — the largest transfer of wealth in history. Yet, despite their growing financial power, many women lack the networks, confidence, or accessible pathways to begin investing in startups.

That’s where Citrine comes in. By providing approachable education, mentorship, and community, we help women move from curiosity to confidence — and from first check to experienced investor.

Traditional angel groups often feel out of reach, with high fees and exclusive cultures. Citrine was built to change that. Citrine Impact now ensures those educational and community programs can scale to reach even more women.

One Vision, Two Entities

Together, Citrine Angels and Citrine Impact make up the Citrine ecosystem:

• Citrine Angels remains focused on membership and investment activities that benefit women investors and entrepreneurs.
  
  
• Citrine Impact will be focused on education, outreach, and public programming that benefits the broader community.

Members and partners will continue to experience Citrine as a single, unified brand — now with even greater capacity to drive impact. You’ll start to see our educational and community offerings labeled “Powered by Citrine Impact.”

Join Us

Our goal is to raise $250,0000 by the end of 2026 to sustain and scale this vision — building the next generation of women investors and founders.

We invite members, partners, and allies to join us in this effort — through donations, introductions, and amplification. 

Donations to Citrine Impact are tax-deductible and directly fund programs that advance education, mentorship, and community engagement for women investors and founders. You can donate at citrineimpact.org, through a Donor Advised Fund like Fidelity or Vanguard, or by contacting impact@citrineangels.com. 

Together, we can close the wealth gap and redefine what investing looks like.
