Our Approach | The Beacon Collaborative's Mission and Vision

Vision

Our goals are to double regular philanthropic giving by the wealthy, in order:

to encourage the investment of the skills, networks and time of these wealth holders in civil society;
to contribute to a joined up philanthropy ecosystem supporting philanthropists to give more and better

Where government must be prudent with public funds, the philanthropist can take risks and freely invest in social innovation or pilot initiatives to address intractable problems.
Where government must meet the needs of the many, philanthropists can support small or specialist organisations, including those that help the most marginalised, partnering alongside or complementing public spending priorities.
