The European Venture Philanthropy Association (EVPA) is committed to be the prime supporter and convener of the community of investors for impact in Europe. Investing for impact means supporting and co-developing innovative solutions to pressing social issues, taking on risks that no other actor in the market can take – or is willing to take. Investors for Impact have a role to play in testing such solutions and bringing them to the market; and team up with investors with impact to generate a collective impact at scale and achieve global change.

This paper serves as an introduction for a series of articles written by thought leaders who will share their opinions and co-shape this impact strategies journey with the EVPA.
