Welcome to Purposely SHORT, a weekly episode that features one of our friends or past guests sharing their expertise on a specific topic.
This week's episode features Izzy Horrocks, co-founder of Aotearoa Lifecourse Foundation, discussing Venture Philanthropy and how it can impact society and environment by identifying, supporting and enabling changemakers and social impact leaders.
In this short clip, Izzy explains how venture philanthropy differs from more traditional models—shifting the focus from one-off grants to long-term partnerships. She describes how the fund identifies high-potential organisations and provides not just funding, but hands-on support to help them grow and thrive.
Izzy also highlights the central role of trust and collaboration in the venture philanthropy model, and how shared goals and sustained commitment are key to driving better outcomes, particularly for tamariki (children / young people).
