Venture Philanthropy

Venture Philanthropy

Venture Philanthropy (VP) takes the concept from venture capital and invest in nonprofit organizations and encourages philanthropists to work for nonprofit causes. The philanthropists set up a nonprofit foundation or collaborate with not-for-profit organizations to support social causes and issues, and philanthropists do not expect from society in return for their social work.

It makes nonprofits stronger and more sustainable to achieve their goals. In 1969, John D. Rockefeller III invented the “Venture Philanthropy” word, by suggesting private foundations may cause risky and an adventurous approach to donate money to unpopular causes. 

How does venture philanthropy work? 

Investors work to make an impact on social causes by being highly committed to the long-term goal. Below are the 3 factors to consider to support an organization or foundation 

  1. Efficient Financing  
  2. Non-financial supports like taking leadership and motivating the team who works for the foundation 
  3. Measure the impact and manage the organization 

Who can be the venture philanthropy?
