Venture Philanthropy
Venture Philanthropy brings together the rigor of venture capital with the heart and mission of the non-profit sector. We mobilize funding, resources and capacity-building support over a period of a year or more to help promising organizations and initiatives in the breast and ovarian health space achieve exponential growth in impact.
Why Venture Philanthropy Works
Venture Philanthropy:
Emphasizes interventions that can be scaled, with the goal of systems change
Focuses on the populations directly benefiting
Provides extensive financial and non-financial support, including capacity building and advisory services
Encourages innovation and risk-taking in finding solutions
Independently monitors and evaluates to measure outcomes and impact
Enables a collaborative, cross-sectoral endeavor to deliver results
Bright Pink is the first and only venture philanthropy fund focused on breast and ovarian health. While Venture Philanthropy has transformed other sectors by maximizing social impact over a long-term horizon, we hope to draw learnings and strategies from our peers to drive positive outcomes in breast and ovarian health.
How it works
We leverage a high degree of rigor in identifying and vetting potential Mission Partners and the initiatives we support. And once the projects are underway, we collaborate with our Mission Partners to support their implementation and evaluation efforts and ensure project milestones are being achieved. Our rigorous Mission Partner vetting process culminates in us making strategic investments - both financial and capacity building - into select breast and ovarian health initiatives.
Through our Venture Philanthropy Fund, Bright Pink is building on our proven success and deep expertise to find and fund the next generation of ground-breaking breast and ovarian health initiatives. As we work to move the needle on young women's breast and ovarian health outcomes, we have continued to deepen our focus on health equity and finding solutions that remove barriers to care and help save lives.
