This is a unique way of identifying and assessing high impact and/ or high potential charities to enable us to support them as effectively as possible with our philanthropy.
This approach allows us to:
Alongside the Model, our portfolio charities are matched with a Venture Partner – an experienced, exited Charity CEO or senior leader who provides ongoing strategic support.
To date, we have researched over 1,092 organisations and have an active portfolio of 23 charities.
We aim to have a balanced portfolio combining proven impact with innovation.
We support organisations ranging from early-stage start-ups through to established national organisations – all with turnovers less than £5m.
