Community is Opportunity.
Trillions chase profit at the expense of people. But across the country, something new is rising, a Regenerative Capital movement, powered by trust, rooted in place, driven by purpose, and led by those who believe money should serve humanity, not the other way around.
Funders
Shift Capital from Wall Street to Main Street.
LocalFund is not a single fund, it is your doorway to a growing network of community-rooted investment funds, built on the LIFT™ framework and grounded by the Exchange Reserve. Join our mission to move capital from the Stock Market to Local Markets, where the upside is shared, not trickled down.

What is the LIFT™ framework?
The Legacy Impact Futures Trust (LIFT) is a national trust model that powers the LocalFund ecosystem. It enables local funds to share back-end infrastructure, transparent reporting, and regenerative capital tools—while keeping decisions and value anchored in the communities they serve.
For Funders
Grow Value Based on Your Values.
LocalFund is designed for those who want to grow their capital and their impact. Whether you're looking to defer taxes, diversify your portfolio, or invest in a better future — you'll access options that traditional markets can't offer.
Eliminate or Defer 100% of Capital Gains Tax
Invest through one of our Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) powered funds to reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes. You'll also support community growth while earning a return.
Make a High-Impact Investment
Fund businesses and projects committed to equity, sustainability, and resilience. These aren't charity, they are mission-driven ventures that outpace Wall Street returns.
Diversify with Regenerative Liquidity
Our funds are grounded by the Exchange Reserve, verified by transparency, quarterly net asset values (NAV), and a framework to align capital and impact with your values.

Plug In. Scale Up. Stay Mission-Focused.
Whether you manage a fund, run an accelerator, or support employee ownership transitions, you don't need to reinvent the infrastructure to scale your impact. LocalFund gives you the tools, trust framework, and transparency to serve your founders and funders better, without giving up your brand, your strategy, or your stakeholders.
Proof of Change
Track and report real-world outcomes, not just activity. Build trust with funders, founders, and communities using the built-in Proof of Change (PoΔ) system that transforms Theory of Change into verified data and storytelling.
Regenerative Capital
Ditch the costly legal workarounds. Our capital stack replaces traditional complexity with ready-to-deploy, regulation-light tools, while still offering quarterly NAV tracking, liquidity pathways, and stakeholder dashboards.
Exchange Reserve
Your fund can stay uniquely yours—but gain access to a national capital backbone. With the Exchange Reserve behind you, your founders gain credibility and your investors gain confidence.
Let's talk about how your fund or program can plug in.
The New Map of Regenerative Capital.
LocalFund is already powering a new kind of capital in cities across the U.S., Regenerative Capital for business owners, worker cooperatives, anchor institutions, and transformative startups.

Where Capital Meets Community.
From reopening neighborhood landmarks to launching worker-owned enterprises, LocalFund is already helping bring visions to life. Community impact often starts with Theory of Change (ToC), but in order to attract impact investment a fund must measure both purpose and profit. Unlike traditional capital, LocalFund's tools don't just measure ROI or stop at ToC, the framework tracks Proof of Change (PoΔ) across people, places, and possibilities.
