Social Venture Philanthropy

This report introduces the concept and practice of social venture philanthropy (SVP), which integrates the strategic rigor of venture capital with philanthropic objectives. It outlines key characteristics such as high-engagement funding, capacity-building support, and a strong focus on measurable impact. The report argues that SVP responds to a new set of community needs by moving beyond traditional charity to provide remedies and produce tangible results, especially in resource-limited environments.
