What Is Venture Philanthropy?

Venture Philanthropy originated in Europe and America. It is a new type of charity partnership and charity investment model. The long-term and participatory nature of cooperation between funders and charitable organizations is an important feature of "philanthropy." It is no longer a simple donation relationship with the funded party. What is more important is to establish a long-term and in-depth partnership with the investee. This partnership brings about a win-win situation for both parties: the faster the partner can grow, the more effectively the funder can achieve the social goals originally set ^[1] .

Philanthropy

In addition to funding, it also provides management and technical support. Through the establishment of long-term partnerships with investees, the purpose of promoting capacity building and model innovation is achieved. It can be seen that philanthropy is a venture capital investment in the philanthropy field. Its investment subject injects capital into non-profit organizations in the process of entrepreneurship, helps them succeed in entrepreneurship, and indirectly helps solve social problems through investment. The operation mode of venture capital philanthropy is similar to that of commercial investment. The difference between it and business investment lies in the non-profit nature of its investment objectives: venture capital philanthropy is not required.
