Social Investment Instruments
![Page 8: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Investment Instruments (1)
• Social (“soft”) Loan: Debt structure below market, e.g., longer term, interest only, low interest rate, etc.
• In-kind equity: Non-monetary contribution of founders, employees, business partners to equity financing round, e.g., intellectual property, consulting hours, facilities, services, etc.
• Program Related Investment (PRI): Social investments from within US based Foundations (usually social loans).
![Page 9: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Investment Instruments (2)
• Equity: Ownership of a company which is sold in order to provide cash for a growing company. Equity appreciates and depreciates based on the company’s value. Equity defers all payment to the investors until the time of sale.
• Debt: Loans or bonds – usually require full repayment plus interest. Loan institution dictates terms like timeframe, collateral, interest rate, and default risk management.
• Grant: Donation without repayment expectation. Grantor expects social / environmental returns.

Social Investment Options
1. Not-for-profit/charity that generates exclusively social valueo Non-market rate (grants)
– Social enterprise that runs a deficit and has clear social missiono Non-market rate/Submarket rates (grants-capacity building, startup,
bridge funds; PRIs, soft loans) – Social enterprise/business that is breakeven to profit-making
but also has a clear social/environmental purposeo Sub-market/market rate (PRIs, soft loans; market rate loans or equity,
“quasi-equity”)– Commercial opportunities in deprived areas
o Market rate/ Sub-market or tax reduction (government incentives)– ‘Social firms’ that employ disenfranchised members of the
communityo Sub-market/market rate

Equity Risk
• Dilutes ownership• Risks losing control over mission, decision
making, and direction• Can intensify pressure to make profit
and/or change legal structure• Fairly untested in social enterprise

Social Investors and Expected Returns
![Page 15: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Investor Types
• Entrepreneurs: In-kind equity, equity• “Angels” or social investors - individual investors:
quasi-equity, equity, grants, debt (patient)• Foundations: Grants, Program Related Investments
(PRI’s)• Social Venture Capital: equity, debt• Venture Philanthropists: Grants, PRIs
o Can be individuals or foundations • Government: Grants and contracts• Venture Funds: Equity and• Banks: Debt, equity• Corporations: equity, debt, cause-related sponsorship,

Not all Social Investors seek high returns
• Venture Philanthropy (VP) does not seek a return on financial capital all the time: mainstream VP operations all deploy grants as financial tools of choice.
• In fact the vast bulk of VP activity from the US is based on non-returnable grants (Venture Philanthropy Partners, 2002)
• PRIs often turn into covertable loans (grants) based on performance.

Trends, Myths and How to Get Money
![Page 20: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Trends
• “Trendy” but more hype than actual dollars• Increasing funder emphasis on financial
sustainability of social enterprises• Market most crowded in financial returns segment
(social companies)• Many funders looking for market/sweet spot• Weak capacity of funds and social investors• Greater involvement from government - policy and
money • Focus on capacity building/long term engagement • Progressive foundations and venture
philanthropists best for grants and TA money.
![Page 21: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Social Enterprise FundingAmong American entities focused on developing countries, over $US 900 Million is dedicated to funding social enterprise• Does not include foundations’ grant making • Slightly over 10% of this money is seeking market return
on investment, while the remainder looks at below-market rates of return
• Other funders simply wish to instill business discipline into the nonprofit world

Myths
• Clear target markets called “social investor” and “venture philanthropist”
• Tons of money for the taking• Fewer barriers to access social investor
money than traditional funding• Social investors won’t be affected by
financial crisis• Uniform “rules of engagement”• Less rigor/accountability

Felicitas Von Peter, Active Philanthropy
“The [social investors] we’re working with is very tricky, people don’t talk about money, philanthropy or any of their private activities with people outside their close peer group. And they are being hit on constantly from people who are only interested in their money, and are often “burned” by this experience. So we have made a commitment (which is the basis for our work) that we will never pitch to our clients, and only work reactively.”

Geoff Muligan, Young Foundation
“The truth is that despite the hype the real level of venture philanthropy is very small, pretty similar to traditional philanthropy, and not much involved in innovation and the fields we work in [health and education].”
![Page 26: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Investors/Donors
• Limited experience• Little history of originating/outreach• Engaged approach• “Unrestricted funds”… not so much• Multi-year approach• More risk averse than public image • High accountability • Rigorous due diligence • A very thin pipeline between money and huge
need
![Page 27: Social Finance Landscape and Trends A product of the SEEP Practitioner Innovations Communities.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649cb05503460f94974dac/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Accessing Social Investments
• Process not an event• New plan: must start with existing funders
and stakeholders.• Long-term process (research/cultivation)• Relationship building with funders • Steep learning curve: business plans,
culture, terminology • Old rules apply for new vehicles

providing capacity building grants to support the entrepreneurial growth process.3. To increase public awareness of the organization4. To provide a platform for sharing “best practices” across sectors

Venture Partners International)• Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors: High engagement philanthropy and social
