About New Profit Inc.



New Profit’s Model Unites…

  • Social Entrepreneurs

    Social entrepreneurs leading organizations in the New Profit portfolio share a set of characteristics. They are visionaries who generate innovations with the potential to transform a problem or field; possess exceptional abilities to rally the human and financial resources to transform their vision into a reality; and deliver high-quality social impact. These social entrepreneurs have powerfully demonstrated their models, and with an infusion of financial and strategic resources can take their social innovations to scale.

  • Individual Investors

    In addition to multi-year financial commitments to New Profit’s fund, individual investors also contribute their business wisdom, creativity, and vision by participating in our due diligence process, sitting on strategy review committees, coaching portfolio organizations, and assuming board seats.

  • Partners and Staff

    Together with Monitor Group and our other partners, New Profit provides portfolio organizations with intellectual capital and engaged support. Portfolio organizations receive strategy and performance measurement support; leadership development through coaching and thought partnership; and assistance with building a management team, succession planning, and board performance and development.


…to Drive Results in Three Keys Areas…

  • Social Impact

    New Profit portfolio organizations generate exceptionally high quality results and are among the nation’s fastest growing nonprofits. While improving year-over-year quality since the fund’s inception, these organizations have achieved average annual growth of lives touched of more than 35% and average annual revenue growth of more than 30%, compared to an annual average of 4% for peer benchmark organizations.

  • Philanthropy

    New Profit provides an innovative vehicle for individuals committed to creating high-quality, scalable impact with their philanthropy. Leveraging our portfolio’s consistently strong results, we also seek to promote the development of performance-based approaches to institutional philanthropy to accelerate the impact of social entrepreneurs.

  • Learning that Shapes Future Practice

    New Profit is committed to capturing and sharing knowledge to deepen our expertise, strengthen our work, and contribute action-oriented insight to the evolving field of philanthropy. Working with social entrepreneurs from our portfolio, strategic partners and investors, New Profit identifies and tests ideas and tools essential for scaling nonprofit organizations and their impact. We are exploring and developing strategies for growth and replication, revenue generation, and performance management. We also seek to identify ways that the broader funding community can best deploy its resources so that visionary social entrepreneurs can flourish.
