Beyond Grants: Leveraging Your Endowment Part Two
Philea and Impact Europe, through the joint “Beyond Grants: A Holistic Approach to Philanthropy” initiative will host “Beyond Grants: Leveraging Your Endowment Part Two” online on 22 October.
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.
This session will continue the exploration of how foundations are using their endowment budgets to invest for impact. The session will spotlight approaches and emerging practices that enable foundations to expand their toolbox and test new ways of delivering on their mission through mission-related investments. The Rockefeller Brothers’ Fund will shed light on their recent report on how their mission-related investments outperformed the market, in conversation with Realdania, who will bring in the European perspective to the discussion.
Participants will have the chance to hear about peer experiences, exchange lessons learned and reflect on opportunities for collaboration and scale. Together, we will continue building a shared understanding of existing initiatives, resources, and support needs 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.
