Amplify your Foundation Grantmaking
LOHAS unlocks philanthropic funding to invest impactfully alongside private capital.
LOHAS Philanthropic Intermediary Program
There is insufficient capital invested in impact ventures to address our social and environmental challenges effectively and sustainably, and grantmakers often lack efficient mechanisms to deploy capital into the impact investing ecosystem easily and at scale.
LOHAS enables foundations to make grants that are invested in impact companies, funds, projects, and entertainment productions with the goal of closing critical financial gaps and catalyzing increased net investment toward important causes.
Support Market-Based Impact Solutions at Scale
With LOHAS as your foundation’s partner, you gain several advantages:
Speed & Simplicity
No need to make a program-related investment. Grantmakers can quickly activate their capital in mission-aligned impact ventures.
Access to Returns
Through our recoverable grant, foundations will not only amplify their impact but also participate in the financial returns from the grant funds invested.
Flexibility
Maximize the catalytic power of grant funding by providing critical investment capital or supporting the impact venture’s most essential needs.
Use the LOHAS PIP to amplify your foundation’s grantmaking by investing in impact ventures that more effectively and sustainably support your mission. We can help!
As you craft your foundation’s grantmaking strategy, we can provide you:
Easy Access
Tap into efficient mechanisms to easily deploy capital into the impact investing ecosystem and address the world’s greatest challenges.
A Pathway to Reinvestment
