Our publications and practical tools cover cutting-edge topics, from adopting the venture philantropy approach to delivering non-financial support; from tailoring the financial offer according to the needs of social purpose organisations to how to exit social investments; from measuring and managing impact to how different actors can collaborate together in innovative ways.
All the KC activities aim at helping practitioners improve their investing forimpact activities and achieve a greater social impact.
We have been conducting and publishing research since 2010 and we have a wide range of reports on best practices, sector developments and key players in the venture philanthropy and social impact sector.
