Anchor Point Foundation
– Brad Feld and Amy Batchelor
The Anchor Point Foundation supports non-profit organizations who are doing innovative work in their communities.
Brad is a long-time venture capitalist who has supported entrepreneurship in the for-profit sector and provides his expertise and leadership to non-profits. Amy is a writer and community leader who has been deeply involved in non-profit activity for two decades.
In addition to long-term relationships with many organizations, the Anchor Point Foundation periodically makes a major commitment to a specific effort that we think is of particular and timely value.
