When nonprofit organizations and philanthropists set out on their philanthropic journey, they are seeking to generate impact or a high rate of return on their investment. However, the impact generated through the deployment of traditional vehicles of gifts and grants is not always tangible or defined. The integration of venture philanthropy and impact investments into a philanthropic portfolio provides philanthropists with the opportunity to generate alpha across both financial and impact metrics. During this private roundtable discussion, we will hear from leading venture philanthropists on how they structure their investment practices to enhance their philanthropy.
