Flattr - Social microdonations Best to invest? | NPC NPC Social investment is the provision of repayable finance to charities and social enterprises with the aim of creating social impact, and sometimes generating a financial return. Currently, relatively few grant-making trusts and individual philanthropists (collectively funders) are involved with social investment. These tend to be the larger UK grant-makers with professional staff and enough resources to be innovators in the sector. However, interest in social investment among funders is growing. Deciding if it’s right Funders considering social investment should focus on how it could help them achieve their mission. The decision is often framed as the choice between making a grant or social investment. Getting started Funders need to develop a plan: every plan is unique and will depend on their motivation, the mission and aim of the organisation, the trade-off between financial and social return, the appetite for risk, and the resources required to carry it out.
