Our new online guide makes social investment simple
15th February 2012
Quasi-equity? Secured loan? Venture philanthropy? Are you confused by these terms?
'Social Investment Made Simple' from NCVO is here to help.
With expert content from CAF Venturesome, this easy to use, online guide will help voluntary and community organisations unravel the mysteries of what’s often referred to as ‘social investment’.
Designed specially for voluntary and community organisations, this straightforward guide includes real examples of organisations that have used everything from a bridging loan to ‘patient capital’ to help grow and sustain their mission. The simple menu allows users to choose an investment type and find out what it means, when to use it, and who provides it.
It also contains practical advice on managing financial risk, and a special section for trustees who aren’t sure what the implications are for them.
If you’re not sure whether investment finance is right for you, or if you don’t even know where to start, Social Investment Made Simple will give you the knowledge to decide what to do next, and put you in touch with the people who can help.
Social Investment Made Simple is brought to you by NCVO, CAF Venturesome and KnowHowNonProfit. It was put together in response to feedback from many people in the sector that there is a lack of clear and honest advice available to help organisations make informed decisions about what is right for them.
