Booklet

A growing number of donors and philanthropists are seeking ways to become more closely involved with a limited “portfolio” of charities, providing a combination of financial, intellectual and social capital. These so-called “engaged philanthropists” infuse their grantmaking activities with the principles and tools of venture capital investing, partnering with these organizations over an extended period of time.

This primer provides guidance for donors who are considering an engaged philanthropy approach to their charitable giving and serves as a resource for engaged philanthropists already in the field.
