How Philanthropy helps impact investments
- Philanthropy can pave the way for promising investments that don’t yet attract pure investment capital due to higher risk, an unproven track record, or an uncertain return timeline. In this case, philanthropy can provide risk capital, early capital, or patient capital. One example is a loan guarantee allowing a social enterprise to access credit at a favorable rate.
- For over a century, philanthropy has honed one of—if not the—most challenging aspects of impact investing: impact measurement. Philanthropy can coordinate with impact investors to appropriately evaluate impact, which can then be measured along with the desired financial return.
- Philanthropy can help develop, scale and professionalize the impact investing field through education, training, research and infrastructure building.
