Abstract: As the world moved into the 21st century, ‘a new golden age of philanthropy’ dawned in the form of Venture Philanthropy (VP), which aims at helping the non-profit (civil society) organisations to build their organisational capacity and improve effective performance. Drawing from the venture capital model of the for-profit (private) sector, this new philanthropy is all set to revolutionise the non-profit capital market. It embraces both the policies and practices of the for-profit sector and the principles and missions of the non-profit sector, and operates with a ‘Double BottomLine’. This emerging face of philanthropy raised serious concerns, if it would cause free markets to encroach upon the non-profit sector and lead to ‘marketisation’ of civil society, if it would end Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in a PR game, and would hamper the independent, objective functioning of the civil society. |
