Deep Knowledge Philanthropy is a data-driven non-profit project by Deep Knowledge Group committed to the support, development and advancement of DeepTech for social good, impact philanthropy and ethical investment, founded on the belief that DeepTech innovation is the most efficient driver of ‘social profit’, technological humanitarianism, and societal development, and that venture philanthropy is the profitable long-term investment for individuals, national economies, and humanity itself.
Deep Knowledge Philanthropy was founded in 2021 to carry forward and build upon the philanthropic vision of Deep Knowledge Group: to leverage technology as the most efficient driver of actionable, tangible social good, supporting innovations, science, charitable, and sponsorship projects internationally.
The Philanthropy Industry Analytical Framework identifies three key social impact organizations within the industry, including:
Philanthropy Entities
Venture Philanthropy Companies
Social Profit Philanthropy Organizations
Philanthropy includes two main subcategories, namely, Charities and Non-Profits and NGOs that could be grant-invested or sponsored both by grants and trading revenue. Philanthropy covers Sustainable Development organisations that are dealing with animal protection, food management, community development, environment and ecology. Apart from this, Philanthropy subsector includes Health organisations, covering hospitals, community health care companies, family welfare and disability care organisations. Moreover, Human Services organisations are also attributed to Philanthropy subsector, and include humanitarian aid companies, arts and culture organisations, educational and consulting institutions, as well as inclusive development organisations.
Venture Philanthropy covers Social Investment companies that could be social enterprises generating revenue or socially-driven businesses. Social Investment companies could be divided into thee main subcategories: Investment Platforms (Value Banking and Social Stock Exchanges), Advisory organisations (Social Investment Advisers and Funding Consultancies), and Investment Funds (Venture Philanthropy Funds and Social Investment Funds).
Social Profit Philanthropy includes Socially Responsible Businesses and Companies Allocating % to Charity that are focusing on seven main fields: Sustainable Development, Nature & Climate Protection, Education, Culture, and Sport, Humanitarian Aid, Legal Services, Healthcare & Support, and Financial Inclusion.
The major difference between traditional philanthropy and venture philanthropy lies in its goals: Venture philanthropy seeks measurable results; whereas, traditional philanthropy either has no goals or goals that are very hard to measure. Venture philanthropy specifically focuses on social causes, while impact investing has a broader remit of social and environmental causes. Both generally aim for a financial return while having a positive impact on the world, but not all investments yield a financial return.
