Dollars Leveraged
Leverage. It's one of the key values of The Fund's venture philanthropy
model. When we say it, we mean dollars that we believe companies,
foundations or the public sector made in our portfolio programs
because we made an investment first.
Fund I & Fund II Dollars Invested $ 8,153,139
These dollars represent cash investments
from Leadership Funds I & II.
Value of Strategic Management Assistance $ 5,896,312
These dollars represent the value of
the strategic management assistance The Fund provides to its
portfolio of programs. That assistance includes helping these
programs develop strategic plans; navigate complex relationships
within the third-largest school system in the nation; hire
staff and management teams; recruit board members; develop
marketing plans and manage media relations; and secure additional
sources of financial support.
Total Value
14,049,451
These dollars do not include The Fund's
administrative and fundraising expenses.
Total Additional Dollars
$ 83,000,738
These dollars represent the total amount
invested in each of our programs by all other public and private
sources.
Leveraged Portion
$ 67,464,499
Calculating "leverage" is
a difficult and error-prone endeavor. These numbers represent
our best estimation of dollars invested because The Fund actively
solicited or encouraged other public and private entities
to support programs in our portfolio. This number is a portion
of the category above, not in addition to it.
