Venture Philanthropy allows Private Equity to make a contribution to the community

The Venture Philanthropy (VP) component of the Altaroc fund represents a major innovation: combining financial performance with social impact. The principle is simple. Investors subscribe as they would to a traditional fund and benefit from the same structure during the investment phase. The difference comes at the time of distributions: the investor chooses to donate 20% of their capital gains to the Alpha Oméga Foundation, which is dedicated to education and combating school dropout rates. This mechanism is particularly effective thanks to the associated tax benefit, which significantly reduces the actual cost of the donation. In practice, for a limited financial outlay, the impact generated is amplified. The investor retains the bulk of their returns while making a significant contribution to a major social cause.The Alpha Omega Foundation operates through an approach inspired by private equity known as “venture philanthropy.” It does not merely fund organizations but supports them in their structuring and development. This includes funding key human resources, digitalization, the development of educational programs, and the provision of expertise through professional partners. This approach maximizes impact by helping organizations scale up.Today, the foundation supports hundreds of thousands of young people and works both to prevent school dropouts and to support their transition into the workforce. It mobilizes a comprehensive ecosystem combining funding, expertise, and partnerships to amplify its impact.For investors, the VP share also offers an enriched experience: detailed social reporting, dedicated events, and the opportunity for personal engagement with the organizations. This human dimension strengthens the link between investment and tangible impact. Ultimately, the VP share offers a unique approach: reconciling financial returns with social value. It is designed for investors who wish to give meaning to their capital while remaining exposed to the performance of private equity.
