Social investment defies the absolute separation between investments and grants that is deeply embedded in the thinking, skills, incentives, and organizational structures of philanthropy. Nevertheless, a small but rapidly growing number of foundations, corporations, and multilateral organizations have begun to use investment capital as a means of furthering their social and environmental missions. In recent years, the Shell Foundation has joined these pioneers by supplementing its grantmaking with investments in business enterprises that alleviate poverty or increase access to clean energy. Seeking to learn from the field, the Shell Foundation retained FSG to explore how other organizations manage their social investments and measure the financial and social benefits produced.
