Innovative Philanthropic Funding Mechanisms

As a philanthropic donor, grant making is standard practice for supporting social, environmental or economic development initiatives. And yet as financial needs shift, and the opportunity to test new approaches becomes more pronounced, implementer organizations may find that new types of capital better support their missions.

Philanthropic donors are increasingly asked to meet the moment of innovation by shifting the ways in which they provide funding.

That is why I created this guide for donors seeking ways to diversify their funding mix.

If you are new to non-grant giving, this overview presents core types of non-grant, innovative philanthropy options for donors interested in impact investing. While other funding methods exist for social, environmental, or financial returns, these examples serve as a viable guide.
