"Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.
Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

JEREMIAH 29:7

Dovetail invests in organizations committed to human flourishing. We exclusively focus on organizations working in poverty alleviation, prioritizing the following four primary sectors: education, health, justice, and livelihoods. 

PORTFOLIOS

HOUSTON, TEXAS

Domestic Portfolio

We invest in big ideas and servant leaders who improve the lives of families in Houston. Our focus is to back bold, scalable, social innovations that accelerate economic mobility and human flourishing for the 1.5M people living in under-resourced communities across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties.

AFRICA, INDIA, AND SOUTHEAST ASIA

International Scale Portfolio

Through our Scale Portfolio, we partner with organizations working in the fields of health (primary, proactive, community-based healthcare), livelihoods (with a focus on increasing incomes for the ultra-poor), early & primary education, and justice (legal access, empowerment, and the enforcement of the law). We typically begin partnership with organizations whose operating budgets are between $500,000 and $5,000,000, and provide general operating support.

AFRICA

International Acceleration Portfolio

Through the Acceleration Portfolio, Dovetail invests in African organizations with annual budgets under $400,000 that are deeply rooted in their communities, have enterprising leadership, and ambition to grow their impact. By pairing unrestricted funding with capacity support, our goal is to help organizations to lay the groundwork they need to access greater opportunities and funding.
