Venturesome: filling a funding gap
Charities are undercapitalised Weak balance sheets There are no social investors (just donors)
Our goal: lack of access to capital is no longer a major barrier to charities achieving their social impact
Our mission is to change the way society thinks about how charities and social purpose businesses should be financed

Mad money – the irrational world of charity finance
Surpluses are bad Cash is restricted Price does not have to cover costs Marginal costs of growth can be ignored Overhead is a luxury and a distraction

Helping individual charities – what we offer
1. Working capital to cover cash flow fluctuations
2. Development capital – ‘hard’ and ‘soft’
3. Pre-funding of fundraising – bridging loan
4. Underwriting – standby facilities
![Page 9: Venturesome Social Purpose Finance 2009](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051514/54b4fe324a7959b9428b4855/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
(c) Venturesome 2009
Main financial mechanisms used by Venturesome
Underwriting / standby facilities undertaking to provide financing for a particular project if
budgeted income does not materialise
Unsecured loans not taking security on the charity’s assets
Equity and quasi-equity the return the funder receives is linked to the financial success
of the venture
