What determines a “Ten Bagger”?
Peter first coined the term “ten bagger” to describe a rare and extraordinary investment — one that multiplies tenfold from its original value. Today, he uses that same powerful language to describe something even more meaningful: those nonprofits supported by The Lynch Foundation whose impact has multiplied tenfold.
These are not just organizations — they are stories of transformation. Many began as humble start-ups, fueled by a spark of hope and an early investment from The Lynch Foundation. Over time, with the proper support at pivotal moments, they’ve grown exponentially — touching more lives, expanding their missions, and making an impact ten times greater than anyone could have imagined.
For us, it’s not just about numbers. It’s about believing in potential when it’s still in its infancy. It’s about taking risks on people and ideas with heart, grit, and vision. Just as Peter once sought out the next “ten bagger” stock, The Lynch Foundation seeks out organizations with the power to change the world — and helps them become the next “ten bagger” of human impact.
