Ring Foundation
Philanthropic Fund
Providing expertise, financial and organisational backing to non-profitable organisations.
Supported charities
Venture philanthropy
In order to resolve the world’s major social and environmental challenges, a continuum of impact solutions is needed, some of which can be backed by an economic business model and generate financial performance, others can't. Our job, as investors, is to identify the best projects, fund them and help them grow. Therefore, our conviction is that investment and venture philanthropy must go hand in hand in the advent of the new impact paradigm.
Through Ring Foundation, we offer multiannual financial and operational support to innovative charities in Europe and in Africa.
We are also committed to donating 5% of our management fees annually to Ring Foundation to support philanthropic projects. In addition, Ring Foundation can receive up to 50% of the carried interest in case the portfolio companies fail to meet their impact KPIs. Ring Foundation can also receive donations from any individual or entity.
