This is a unique way of identifying and assessing charities on their impact and potential and enables us to support them as effectively as possible.
This approach allows us to:
Following assessment using the model our partners charities work with a dedicated Venture Partner who provides bespoke 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 £5 million.
