What are the differences between “venture philanthropy,” “high-engagement grantmaking,” and “engaged, highly leveraged grantmaking”?
These terms are often used interchangeably—and none of them has achieved dictionary-level specificity. To describe our own approach, we tend to use the slightly cumbersome term “engaged, highly leveraged grantmaking.” We feel that it comes closest to describing the kind of investment partnerships we form, in which we provide major funding as well as non-financial support and aspire to serve as a combination of strategic advisor, executive coach, change agent, funder, board member, and consultant.
