Each week, Superpowers for Good shares a list of new impact-related offerings added to FINRA-Registered Crowdfunding portals and by broker-dealers. We’ll share four separate lists:
Impact offerings determined by our proprietary analysis.
Offerings with minority founders.
Deals with women founders.
Those with LGBTQ founders.
Sometimes, it takes weeks for our source to determine that a company has a social impact, a woman, minority or LGBTQ founder. When we discover an offering qualifies for our list, even if it is no longer new, we will include it. See the lists below.

I haven’t seen my Republican friends so happy in a long time. My Democratic friends are almost despondent—until we talk about the Trump Administration’s impact on impact crowdfunding. Here alone, my friends in the impact crowdfunding and regulated investment crowdfunding communities find general alignment with friends on the other side of the aisle; they see reason for optimism.
The Administration’s deregulatory and lower tax agenda could enable crowdfunding to become a genuinely mainstream part of the Economy—or it could destroy it.
Here’s some of what’s at play. Today, I’m speaking for myself but drawing on what I’ve learned as the co-chair of the Crowdfunding Professional Association and vice-chair of its tax credit policy subcommittee.
If the Republican Congress and the President go too far—and this proposal has already been floated in the Senate—securities offerings up to $500,000 could be exempted from all securities regulation. This would limit them only to broad anti-fraud provisions of the law.
While that may seem tempting, that would mean that 90 percent of the offerings completed under Regulation Crowdfunding could be conducted without a portal, legal counsel or accounting help whatsoever.
The first result would be to wipe out most of the portals. Without a roster of small offerings, the portals without big bank accounts would likely close quickly. Those with capital would likely pivot to hosting larger offerings. With 90 percent of the volume gone, I expect only two or three survivors.
A new tax credit proposal could dramatically boost Regulation Crowdfunding by incentivizing millions of investors.
Brian Christie explains how the tax credit offers a 50% refund on investments up to $2,000 annually.
Levi Brackman highlights crowdfunding’s potential to fill small business funding gaps in a post-local bank era.
The initiative could channel billions into Small Businesses, creating jobs and strengthening communities nationwide.
Advocates urge action by joining the coalition, contacting legislators, and spreading awareness to drive policy change.
