Unleashing the social entrepreneurship potential and increasing the impact of funds utilized
Social entrepreneurs drive innovative and sustainable solutions to social and environmental issues. They identify a pressing social problem and use entrepreneurial skills to solve it. The growing number of social entrepreneurs around the world are brimming with innovative ideas on how to address different social and environmental issues in an effective way. At the same time, individuals, companies and foundations are searching for new and better ways to make a social impact, moving away from traditional checkbook philanthropy towards taking their social engagements as seriously as any other investment decision.
Yet these two groups, social entrepreneurs and philanthropists, have been lacking the mechanisms to efficiently connect with each other. This means that many potential social engagements and donations are not taking place or resources are not directed at the best organizations, meaning much potential social impact is left unrealized.
By creating a platform dedicated to connecting high impact social entrepreneurs to philanthropists, we empower both of these stakeholders to achieve a social impact. We thereby provide social entrepreneurs access to the funds needed to implement innovative and sustainable solutions. At the same time, we offer philanthropists a high quality selection of impact opportunities where their use of funds will be much more effective and their impact long lasting.
