SOCIAL IMPACT INVESTMENT: BUILDING THE EVIDENCE BASE<br />

Target Population<br />

The set of elements about which information is wanted and estimates are required. Practical<br />

considerations may dictate that some units are excluded (e.g., institutionalized individuals, the homeless, or<br />

those that are not possible to access without incurring excessive cost). (OECD Glossary of Statistical<br />

Terms)<br />

Venture Philanthropy<br />

Venture Philanthropy is an approach to build stronger investee organisations with a societal purpose<br />

by providing them with both financial and nonfinancial support in order to increase their societal impact.<br />

The venture philanthropy approach includes the use of the entire spectrum of financing instruments (grants,<br />

equity, debt, etc.) and pays particular attention to the ultimate objective of achieving societal impact. The<br />

approach includes both social investment and high engagement grant making. (Source: EVPA website).<br />
