VPF Due Diligence 2015 - grants & investments
Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 07:59AM 
As last year, VPF is once more on the look-out for entrepreneurial social ventures which can benefit from its unique set of supporters from the financial and business world. We want to hear about charities and other social ventures who seek grant and pro bono support - see below for our selection criteria.
HOWEVER, a successful series of social investments has also prompted a search for further investment opportunities amongst VPF's existing portfolio and in charities and other organisations new to VPF.
In common with most of the social investment world, finding solid opportunities is the hardest part of the process - the difference for VPF is that we are specifically looking for opportunities for debt and equity investments of between £50,000 and £250,000. We won't rule anything out but that is where we believe VPF can add the most value and where the biggest demand lies.
These investments may or may not be eligible for Social Investment Tax Relief - see here for information - this is not a criteria for consideration but it could help.
In common with those charities we support with grant funding, our criteria are simple:
|
|
Social entrepreneurial led social ventures |
|
|
Addressing a pressing social need in an innovative way |
|
|
Currently at a key and complex stage |
|
|
Where there is a strong fit with VPF’s donor base skills & fit for us to work with |
|
|
With future potential for growth/scale in societal results, level of activity and income |
In you believe you fulfil these criteria and have a business plan which can justify the investment you seek, get in touch with David here.
