Session

Venture philanthropy applies the strategic discipline of venture capital to the social sector—combining long-term funding with active engagement, rigorous due diligence, and measurable results. 

In this session, we explore how private wealth can be deployed like growth capital for high-potential nonprofits and social enterprises—strengthening their capacity, accelerating their impact, and positioning them for sustainable success. This panel will discuss and share examples of how to structure a venture philanthropy approach that aligns with your family’s values, engages the next generation, and delivers both measurable outcomes and lasting legacy.
