Beyond Grants: Leveraging Your Endowment
Philea and Impact Europe, through the joint “Beyond Grants: A Holistic Approach to Philanthropy” initiative will host “Beyond Grants: Leveraging Your Endowment” online on 20 May.
Charting the future of philanthropy will require thinking beyond the usual and getting holistic. We can no longer ignore the need for philanthropy and business to move in concert, nor the fact that a foundation’s impact comes not only from its philanthropic partnerships but also from its investment approaches and decisions. Beyond Grants calls for in-depth discussion on strategic and operational levels about the future of philanthropy and its core instruments.
As part of Beyond Grants, we want to surface inspiring initiatives running at the national-level supporting foundations that wish to widen their approach to their endowment investments.
This session will showcase one such initiative, that of the Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF). Through the Social Impact investors Group and dedicated training, ACF has supported foundations to explore and deliver impact investing, alongside both carve out and main endowment strategies as part of their Stronger Foundations initiative.
Join us to learn from this approach and hear directly from ACF on delivering more impact via investment approaches. This session will provide the opportunity to share knowledge and learn from peers. With your help, we will look to begin mapping and exploring similar initiatives and opportunities for replication and scale across Europe.
Impact Europe and Philea bring unique skills, knowledge and reach towards the goal of demystifying impact investing for philanthropic organisations. By working together, we seek to establish clear pathways for experienced, new and potential practitioners. The workplan is built by its practitioner community, guided by its needs and supported by a dedicated Advisory Committee.
