Investing for Global Impact 2022 Report
We are pleased to present the 9th Investing for Global Impact Report. The global challenges we’ve faced over recent years highlight the importance of a healthy, functioning, and sustainable planet. This report shows that private wealth-holders are keen to play their role to help address these urgent issues.
What we do
Impact Advisory
We bridge the gap between social & business, ideas & practice, and donors & grantees. We work with organisations to adapt business models and philanthropic approaches to introduce and integrate new perspectives of social impact.
Research
Philanthropy and impact investing mean a lot of different things to different people. As a think tank on this subject, we explore how family offices, foundations and organisations approach impact investing and philanthropy trends.
Initiatives
Supporting projects that have potential for long term sustainable impact. Partnering with purpose-driven entrepreneurs and organisations to scale and grow into sustainable impact businesses.
Preferred Charities
Supporting charitable endeavours that have the potential for long term sustainable impact. Partnering with organisations and acting as a link between start-up projects and useful potential networks enabling projects to scale and grow their impact.
