Change the scale of high impact charities to relaunch the social ladder

Leading charities in social innovation are to public institutions what new entrants are to large companies: agile organizations that can quickly detect emerging problems and create innovative solutions to respond efficiently. The leaders of these charities, visionary field actors, have succeeded in carrying out their social action in many territories thanks to their exceptional capacity for mobilization and commitment. In just a few years, a few leading charities have succeeded in supporting 10% of their target beneficiaries.

Once this threshold is reached, they are slowed down in their development by the lack of financing stability, in addition to their difficulty to finance salaried employment, the strategic and operational tools that are essential to multiply their impact on a larger scale.

Our conviction : The leaders of high impact charities have to be accompanied in their growth like high potential entrepreneurs are in the private sector to solve our societal challenges on a large scale. This is the raison d'être of Venture Philanthropy, a philanthropy focused on social growth.

Because a successful country is a country where every young person can succeed

the AlphaOmega foundation selects organizations with the potential to have an effective systemic impact in the education and employment of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in France. AlphaOmega is inspired by Private Equity structuring methods to increase the operational efficiency of leading educational charities and enable them to accelerate their growth. Our teams are working closely with the leaders of the charities, major economic and financial players and public authorities to boost upward social mobility.

The impact study provides us with crucial new information. It identifies the typical student profiles on which we already have a strong impact, and those on which our impact is still too weak. It distinguishes between our well-received messages and those on which we need to change our approach. On this basis, we are working with the Scientific Committee to continue to improve the effectiveness of the program as of the 2019 Re-entry.
