We are pleased to announce that Social Investors, the Zurich- and Geneva-based independent philanthropy advisory firm, has published a report for the Argidius Foundation, which looks at the array of financial mechanisms and approaches that grantmakers can use to support the core of their grantees. The public version of the report, along with an Executive Summary, can be found here.

This is part of our greater effort to highlight the successful approaches (as well as the not-so-successful) that philanthropists can take to maximize the impact of their giving. These include a study on impact investing opportunities in education, an analysis of the best (and worst) ways to support the core of your grantees, as well as an attempt to shed some light on the pitfalls of getting “too close” to your grantees when providing non-financial support.

Our company, founded in 2005, has been assisting a growing number of individuals, families and foundations whom we have the privilege of accompanying throughout their philanthropic engagements.

We are passionate about helping you maximize the impact of your philanthropic engagements.  If you should have any questions about how we can help you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
