that steam %uh value investing be good idea to tell you a little bit about the
foundation the Prince Henry foundation and how that came about because I do
think it has it connects very powerfully to theme that we're talking about this
evening and tomorrow the foundation really got started as a vision a small
group of people and an England Matthew Boulet myself and other investors really
had an idea that we ate we all have our day jobs on but we also wanted to do
something to really have an impact on society into produced real change in
nonprofit organizations that we worked with in for me using my own background
as a nonprofit executive that men really working with nonprofit organizations
across the country to help them grow and expand and as any new startup on does
we really look at the field other foundations what they were doing and really
studied on the field of our a foundations and grantmaking and really want to do
something unique and what we saw when we looked around at what other
foundations were doing as we saw that a lot of foundations were giving seed
money and venture capital to test new ideas often foundations will do this on a
time limited basis and to test new initiatives in new programs and we didn't
see that as our particular niche is something that.
We
wanted to do as a foundation will be trite what we're trying to do is a
foundation is tackle a far greater challenge that we see in the foundation in
the nonprofit community and that is backing proven solutions on in really
providing sustained investment and support for nonprofits that are really
making a powerful difference wanna spotlight those organizations surround them
with support both financial and human capital support and really help them grow
and expand and go to scale so the organizations were supporting this year are
relatively small nonprofits that have a proven track record of success based on
research and we're helping them grow and expand were helping us small program
called Harlem RB I N in East Harlem in New York launch a charter school were
helping an organization in DC called the higher achievement program.
The
really provides afterschool and summer programs for kids in high poverty
communities grow that program an expanded in Baltimore in other communities and
we're backing a group inom answer and %uh Mississippi Gulf Coast called the
bigger McCarty foundation is working to rebuild youth programs that were really
on destroyed after the after Hurricane Katrina so we really believe in these organizations
we're working hard to support them and it's in that spirit tonight that we're
