Philanthropy

Working with philanthropies to develop strategy and endowment plans with an impact investing lens, creating catalytic capital and blended finance structures that align mission-related and programme-related investments

We develop leading edge impact measurement and management (IMM) designs and processes.

The Krutham approach

What does it mean to be a foundation in South Africa? What is the most effective way to extend the reach of your programmes at a time when the cutbacks in international development aid are rippling across the sector? What assets do you have, or can you develop, to maximise the impact of your work? When you report on your programmes, how do you know you are achieving the kind of impact you hope for?

These are some of the questions that Krutham helps philanthropy clients to answer.

Our work includes

Production of the Impact Investing Handbook for Foundations

An Impact Strategy Review for a South African foundation

Curated the Masterclass on Impact Investing for foundation teams

Accelerating Impact – research into legislative impediments to impact investing in South Africa

Social impact bond research papers (x2)

Curated the Foundations Xchange Platform – where South Africa’s corporate foundations come together each quarter to share and collaborate on the latest developments in impact investing

Comprehensive capabilities

Krutham’s impact team combines long-standing research, development, reporting and finance capabilities to support your journey to greater, more considered impact.

Thought leadership

“Globally, foundations are learning that through impact investing they can magnify the difference they make in the world. ”

From Kruthams’ Accelerating Impact, Paper 2: Taxation and PBOs
