New Profit’s approach gets results. Our portfolio organizations measure social impact, revenue growth, lives touched, and other key dimensions of their performance. These organizations have improved year-over-year quality since the fund’s inception, growing lives touched and revenue by more than 30 percent each year, while peer benchmark organizations struggle to achieve growth at all.

Leveraging our portfolio’s consistently strong results, New Profit also seeks to promote the development of performance-based approaches to philanthropy and accelerate the impact of social entrepreneurs. Through publications, participation in conferences, convening key groups of funders and practitioners, and consulting to developing foundations, we engage with institutional and individual leaders who are shaping the future of philanthropy.
