Is there a body of literature on Venture Philanthropy?
There are not too many pieces one may turn to in order to understand the basics of this approach. A good place to start is the article “Virtuous Capital,” published in the January/February 1997 issue of Harvard Business Review. Another good resource is the paper “The Challenge of Change.” REDF has been engaged in documenting its experience with Venture Philanthropy, and our Publications page includes many papers written by us and others which you can download to read about the issues we are addressing.
