There have been many learnings and new projects in 2020, and we will be continuing with many of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our foundation of foundations has been a complete success because, of the twelve foundations that were part of it, five are already starting down the path of impact investment. The journey and learning during these months have been a true gift where we have enjoyed teamwork and collaboration, which is often missed in the Third Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our \u2018in Company\u2019 training courses for businesses are more necessary than ever, now that corporations are truly rethinking their purpose. To date, we have mobilised over \u20ac55 billion from major corporations towards social impact. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our dear chairs of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.comillas.edu\/catedra-de-impacto-social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pontifical Comillas University<\/a>&nbsp;And the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/masterinversionimpacto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autonomous University of Madrid<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/es\/open-value-academy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Online courses<\/a>&nbsp;What do we offer to bring academic rigour to this new industry which will be impact investing. With this support for academia, we want to be the voice of best market practices, give voice to projects that share our objectives, and convince that the best way to aid development is through impact investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our leadership programme&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/es\/acumen-academy-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acumen Fellows Programme<\/a>&nbsp;creating a critical mass of leaders in Spain committed to leaving a better world than they found. Diversity is at the heart of the program because to solve the challenges we face, we need to bring different viewpoints together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, we will be supporting the African continent and the billions of people living below the poverty line in various ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/es\/oportunidades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">projects<\/a>&nbsp;in education, agriculture and health, primarily in Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia, as well as providing seed capital, both in Spain and Africa, for projects that cannot find funding in their earliest stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advising with our financial knowledge to transform social projects into investable ones, traditional projects into social ones, and measuring the impact of our asset manager's funds.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/globalsocialimpact.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Social Impact Investments<\/a>&nbsp;and of many other projects through a proprietary methodology that takes into account all market standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, our goal for 2021 is to continue measuring whether the projects we support, either directly or for our clients, have the social impact we seek: the improvement of the livelihoods of the most vulnerable people.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Desde Open Value Foundation empezamos con much\u00edsima ilusi\u00f3n, han sido muchos los aprendizajes y los proyectos nuevos en el a\u00f1o 2020 y vamos a continuar con muchos de ellos: Nuestro fondo de fundaciones ha sido un \u00e9xito total porque de las doce fundaciones que formaron parte, ya hay cinco empezando andar el camino de la [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-post"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9345"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9347,"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9345\/revisions\/9347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openvaluefoundation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
