Born in the US in the 1990s, venture philanthropy spread rapidly to the UK and continental Europe and is now beginning to appear in Asia. It’s talked about at foundation conferences, fundraising events and around the water cooler in development offices world-wide. But what is so important about this form of philanthropy? And how is the pitch of giving by this small group of “fringe” philanthropists having such a crystal-shattering impact on our nonprofits?

A member of the European Venture Philanthropy Association’s Finance and Fundraising Committee, Chris Carnie and his team at Factary have recently published a white paper with an insider’s look at venture philanthropy that is rarely seen. The report places VP firmly in context but then focuses specifically on the venture philanthropists themselves and their giving priorities. In this special session for ShareTraining, Chris will present key findings from the research, discuss venture philanthropy in Europe and the US, and provide information about the most active funders.
