Impact Europe (formerly known as EVPA) is a community of more than 300 organizations, covering a full range of venture philanthropy and social investment activities, including venture philanthropy funds, social investors, grantmaking foundations, impact investing funds, private equity firms, professional service firms, philanthropy advisers, banks, and business schools.
Working with C3, EVPA has embarked on a series of key activities and events to build a European space for catalytic capital. It aims to exchange best practices and bring awareness of the deployment of catalytic capital through practitioner gatherings and case studies, and is reaching out to a wider audience through a consultation to collect diverse voices and perspectives from beyond the typical community of capital providers. Insights gained from these activities will feed into an upcoming white paper on catalytic capital.
“Investors for impact in Europe are early pioneers of deploying catalytic capital to transform society for the better. With the Catalytic Capital Consortium’s support, we aim at building on our community’s experience to mobilize investors from across the full spectrum of capital and deliver the positive change at scale we so desperately need for people and planet,” said Roberta Bosurgi, EVPA CEO.
