Social Investors is a for-profit social enterprise that now leverages a global network of people who are as passionate about philanthropy as you are.

Let us use our experience to help you make the most of yours.

Our job is to assist you in maximizing the impact of your philanthropic engagements. We support you when it comes to making the most of your money, time or know-how in tackling causes that you feel most passionate about.

Our vision is to be an enabler and facilitator of social impact, supporting families and foundations in their endeavours to make a world that works for all of humanity. It has been our aspiration from the beginning to be known for the innovative and impactful work that these philanthropists have accomplished.

Our aim is to bring attention and intent to social problem solving, and to move away from emotions-driven and ad hoc decision-making processes.

This is why we have been dedicating our time and passion to assist philanthropists in going about their engagements strategically to make an impact by design – and not by default.

Our Strategic Partners

Social Investors works with a variety of partners around the globe, who bring their extensive experience and expertise to help our clients fulfill their philanthropic ambitions.

In the summer of 2011, Social Investors announced a strategic partnership with Berlin-based Wider Sense (formerly Beyond Philanthropy). Together, the two organizations aim to create a safe space where donors and investors can identify areas of interest, develop a mission for what they want to do, and implement a long-term strategy that leverages all the resources they have – be they finances, professional experience, contacts or time – in order to maximize the impact of their philanthropic engagements.

In early 2014, we began cooperating with Zurich-based Professor Dominique Jakob (Prof. Dr. iur., LL.M.), a well-known expert and sought-after advisor in the field of foundation and trust law. This helps us meet the diverse demands from both local and international philanthropists, which includes navigating the increasingly difficult legal landscape.

In 2016, we began working on a regular basis with the Housatonic Design Network, led by Alfredo Carlo. Over the years, Alfredo’s team of designers and graphic facilitators have helped numerous clients of ours make sense of the issues that they feel most passionate about.
