Professional Service Firms

Professional service firms actively engage with venture philanthropy as an extension to their pro bono activities and corporate CSR programs.  Successful VP practitioners often form long term relationships with a core group of professional service firms who they partner with to develop their own strategy and organisation, and to be active contributors to their investment process.

Lawyers, accountants, strategy and operational consultants, IT consultants, not-for-profit specialist consultants, design and marketing firms all provide key resources and expertise in the VP sector.

Membership of AVPN enables professional service firms to:

  • Support a growing Asian (and global) movement in philanthropy that adapts venture capital methods and utilises business skills
  • Adopt VP as a strategic platform for their company’s CSR
  • Utilize their team’s strengths and networks on projects and for organisations that have been pre-screened by VP practitioners and create real social value
  • Strengthen relationships with their clients in the investment and not-for-profit communities who are actively involved in venture philanthropy and other forms of philanthropy
