What We Do
Much like a financial investor looks to venture capital as a means to find new areas in a market which can have a lucrative return. So too is the idea of venture philanthropy. However, the return is a “social return” on investment.
Have you ever heard yourself ask questions such as:
- Why are things not getting better for those I want to assist?
- Why do my charitable organizations do the same things over and over with nothing changing?
We believe everyone is truly interested in leading change. Modern fundraising has set expectations for donors to “settle” only as financial tools for those seeking funds for their purpose. As a donor, you should lead change in the areas where you are most passionate about impacting. It is your personal motives, beliefs and life experiences which form your “why” and lead your philanthropic conversations – without compromise.
We support donors who feel this way and are not seeing the change in which they invest, and most often, are not stewarded or fully valued for their giving. We believe a healthy frustration of the current state of these sectors is the impetus for donors to lead change and innovation.
What was one experience in your life that led to your success, or the obstacle that created who you are today?
What do you want to see changed, or done better, in the sector? Are you being stewarded well for your giving by your institutions or are you not seeing the impact of your investments?
Working together with individuals and families who want to lead social innovation, the One Question Foundation can work with you to meet your philanthropic goals and desired outcomes outside of standard grant making or donor advised fund recommendations.
Let One Question Foundation work with you to lead the change you want to see through the creation and identification of new programming and supporting innovative social pioneers looking to change the world and are equally passionate about the areas you want to see changed and those lives you want to see impacted.
