Multiplying Social Return
In Hong Kong Since 2014
A funding and strategic partner to social purpose organisations,
we enable sustainable change to Hong Kong’s most pressing social issues.
ABOUT US
A Hong Kong S88 registered charity with a mission to enable sustainable Social Purpose Organisations (SPOs), SIP acts like an investor using tools from the private sector investment industry to tailor solutions for sustainable and scalable SPOs, working with them as they achieve organisational maturity. SIP activates the appropriate funding solution (grants/ loans/ equity) to match SPO’s needs. Recovered capital is then recycled to the next SPO.
Our SDG Focus
What We Do
Since 2014, As a financing and strategic partner to growth-stage social purpose organisations, we create tailored solutions that help develop the sustainability and scalability that social purpose organisations (SPOs) (of any legal entity) need to achieve organisational maturity.
Central to our approach is our fundamental investing discipline: While we ourselves are not-for-profit, we evaluate all potential SPO partners with the same rigour and due diligence as would a traditional investor deciding a portfolio opportunity. We are also distinctly equipped to drive rapid and effective organisational improvement: When SPOs partner with us, they are also partnering with our extensive network of world-class professional experts, long-term funding partners and global industry leaders. By leveraging this network, SIP maximises its investment capital and services to deliver an exponential return on positive social impact.
WE ARE SIP
Why SIP?
We firmly believe that through SIP, we can provide greater support to these SPOs, helping them achieve long-term sustainability. This also enhances the experience for funders and amplifies social impact.
Many SPOs face challenges with financial management, risk management, sustainable operations, governance, and performance tracking. These issues not only limit their development but also hinder the effective resolution of social issues.
SIP's professional team works directly with SPOs to optimize their business models, improve operational efficiency, establish robust risk management frameworks, strengthen governance, and implement effective performance monitoring. We also closely monitor the social impact of each investment.
