– Legacy Venture
Approach
Our Financial Engine
Legacy Venture is a fund-of-funds. We invest in a select group of top venture capital funds that in turn invest in promising companies that have included Facebook, LinkedIn, PayPal, Splunk, Twitter, YouTube, Zillow, Zynga, and many others.
These venture funds are highly sought after and are generally not accessible to anyone outside of a very small circle of investors. Legacy believes that it has attained excellent allocations in these venture funds by virtue of its philanthropic mission and its well-connected management team and LPs.
The following is a snapshot of how our financial engine works.

Our Member Community
Legacy members are a dynamic community committed to making a positive difference in the world, individually and together. Since we launched our first fund over a decade ago, our members have committed to invest more than $1 billion to amplify their impact and legacy in a wide range of areas.
Membership in Legacy Venture provides much more than investment in these premier venture firms. Members enjoy active involvement in a very unique community of entrepreneurs, leaders, and philanthropists committed to making a positive difference in the world. Our community includes exceptional individuals, foundations, and non-profits that share ideas, insights, and expertise that amplify their impact, individually and together.
To help members worldwide feel a part of the Legacy community wherever they live, we created a website exclusively for Legacy members. It enables them to search the thousands of non-profits supported by our exceptional community, and to connect and collaborate with other members who share similar passions.
