The new EVPA Survey has been released

The European Venture Philanthropy Association, of which Investisseurs & Partenaires is a member, just posted its third annual survey of European Venture Philanthropy and Social Investment, a segment on which I&P has a strong focus. 

The aim of the report is to provide awareness about European Venture Philanthropy & Social Investing. The survey confirms continued growth of VP/SI sector in Europe, including the following variables:

- Increased financial support: average financial support by VPOs to investees increased by almost 20% to €6.2 million from 2011 to 2012

- Increased capacity building: VPOs demonstrate organisational growth with total number of employees increasing from 753 in 2011 to 1054 in 2012.

It also shows that VPOs keep on looking for further sophistication in funding model and financing instruments in order to achieve their societal purposes.
