 Thrive Foundation practices venture philanthropy. We operate like venture capitalists in the social sector, developing collaborative partnerships that blend creative thinking and knowledge to help us deliver social impact at scale. In our role, we are a bridge connecting academic thought to practitioner savvy.
We play a valuable role of convener and our resources are used to spotlight barriers or opportunities to promote thriving. We weave together multiple perspectives, and we offer our partners a blend of financial support, tools, and a network of shared expertise.
The five elements of venture philanthropy practice are:
- Multi-year investments in plans for social change
- High engagement with partners
- Accountability for results
- Provision of financial support, expertise and tools
- Exit strategies that help partners sustain & scale innovations
