LGT Venture Philanthropy - iCats Program

LGT Venture Philanthropy - iCats Program

The iCats Program was started by LGT Venture Philanthropy in 2007 to provide intellectual capital to its investees, alongside financial and social capital. The Program bridges the gap between social organizations in need of professional know-how and resources, and business professionals with the desire to apply their knowledge and experience to benefit the social sector, thus acting as “impact catalysts”. This is how the name iCats came about.

In 2009, a number of other foundations and impact investors joined the initiative as trusted partners to leverage the existing resources and increase the positive impact of their investees by selecting iCats who best corresponded to their needs. Click here to find out more about our partners.
