Industry surveys, case studies in the investing for impact sector.
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.
