At Synergy Social Ventures, we believe that social ventures have the potential to solve social and environmental problems. However, in order to realize their potential, they need support in building strong and effective organizations. Social ventures are for-profit, non-profit or hybrid organizations that use innovative business models to solve social and environmental problems. They are characterized by:
- Innovation: Social ventures use new and creative ways to solve existing problems, such as creating new products and services or applying existing technology to different contexts. Social ventures are changing the way we think about and solve problems around the world.
- Long-term Solutions: Instead of relying on short-term fixes, social ventures target the root of the problem. They choose models that create significant lasting improvements and transform lives.
- Financial Sustainability: Social ventures use revenue-generating business models to become financially self-sustaining in order to reduce reliance on unpredictable donor funding.
Synergy Social Ventures is a non-profit organization investing in entrepreneurial solutions to global problems. We support early-stage social ventures in Asia working in the areas of:
- Poverty reduction through economic development
- Increasing access to essential goods and services such as clean water, food, energy, housing, affordable healthcare and improved education
- Environmental sustainability in agriculture and waste and resource management
Supporting Synergy is an opportunity for you to create significant social and environmental impact on an ongoing basis. Your donation will have three key levels of impact:
- Compound Effect of Value-Added Support: Synergy’s organizational capacity building support compounds the effect of financial investments.
- Sustainable Impact: Helping social ventures achieve financial independence enables them to create and scale impact without ongoing donor support.
- Re-investment of Funds: Through Synergy’s revolving fund model, repaid investments are used to fund other social ventures.
