You can receive financial support for your social project in these ways<\/h2>\n\n

Every social project stands or falls with successful funding. Collecting donations, submitting applications to funding foundations and applying for public funding are part of almost every fundraising concept<\/a>. Another method of project financing that many NPOs and social projects do not yet utilize and that is already an integral part of the financing plan for social enterprises is investors. As donors for social projects<\/strong>, they promise a stable financial basis and thus enable sustainable action, long-term planning and growth. Impact investing<\/a> is interesting for foundations as well as for social enterprises and philanthropically oriented investors because it gives them the opportunity not only to support social projects financially, but also to contribute their expertise, experience, ideas and networks. <\/p>\n\n

How do I find social investors & donors for my social project?<\/h3>\n\n

Step 1:<\/mark> Create a project outline<\/strong>. Before you start looking for investors for your social project, you should clearly define<\/g> your goals<\/g> and needs, the scope and focus of the project. A well-developed project outline will not only make your work easier, you will also use it when presenting your project to investors later on. <\/p>\n\n

The best place to start your research<\/strong> is with existing contacts and resources. Contact previous cooperation partners, foundations and companies that you already know. Databases and platforms (such as Spheriq<\/g>) that you already use are also ideal first points of contact. You may already be able to identify potential investors for your social project<\/g> here, or you may gain valuable additional contacts. Relevant events, congresses and lectures are places where you can meet potentially interested and open-minded people. Finally, there are also special databases and platforms for impact investing as well as consulting firms that specialize in this area and can even take over the entire process for you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Compatibility between the investor and the social project<\/strong> is crucial for successful collaboration. The ideas, values and objectives must match. Not everyone who is willing to participate in the financing of your social project is suitable as an investor. It is equally important that you can trust the potential donors. <\/p>\n\n

From initial contact to signing the contract: convincing investors of the merits of a social project<\/h3>\n\n

Financial returns play a subordinate role in social projects and social enterprises. This makes it all the more important to be well prepared and professional<\/strong> when looking for social investors. <\/p>\n\n

Step 3:<\/mark> Prepare documents that you can send to interested parties quickly and easily. This includes <\/p>\n\n
