Our Approach

We're proud to support our partners in three ways

We apply our three approaches in pursuit of outcomes we believe will create the necessary pathways for realizing our vision for Oceans, Food & Agriculture, and Energy by 2050. As a learning organization we are prepared to adjust this thinking over time as we gain insights into factors that enable or hinder progress, and better understand how to use our resources to advance positive, long-lasting impact for people and planet.

1. Deploying Capital

We use a versatile set of tools, including grants, direct investments, and fund investments to support non-profit leaders, entrepreneurs, and fund managers.

The Builders Vision Investment Team is responsible for the management of over $15 billion across seven portfolios, including a taxable multi-asset class portfolio, a philanthropic endowment, donor-advised funds (DAFs) and Builders Bridge, a catalytic investment LLC. The team deploys capital to over 100 funds and more than 50 portfolio companies to achieve strong financial returns and sustainable outcomes.

Builders Vision Philanthropy focuses on accelerating new markets and investing in nascent promising innovations. We identify and advocate for policy solutions, research, insights and partnerships to accelerate sector transitions and market adoption of sustainable solutions.

2. Providing critical resources

We provide our partners with critical resources, including technical assistance, connections, support with impact measurement, human capital development and strategic advice. We expose them to cutting edge insights, industry-wide initiatives, and influential coalitions to help them accelerate and scale solutions.

3. Advocating for their success

We promote and showcase our partners and their innovative solutions with critical investors, philanthropists, policy makers, and thought leaders. We create opportunities to increase awareness about sector opportunities and the gaps our solutions fill.

Our Approach To Measuring Impact

We collect and measure data to quantify our progress and hold ourselves accountable

We use that analysis to make adjustments when needed and to demonstrate what's necessary to build a more resilient future.

In alignment with industry standards, Builders Vision collects, synthesizes, and interprets impact data from our partners on an annual basis to assess contributions toward near-term outcome indicators in each sector, and to meet our 2050 goals. We follow a five step process:

1. Pipeline Development

2. Due Diligence

Analyze potential partners with thorough research and due diligence

3. Review & Approval

Articulate partner’s impact goals and how they’ll report their progress with us

4. Monitoring

Regularly collect insights on and learn from our partners’ impact

5. Cycle Out
