Welcome to the iCats Program

The iCats Program was designed to bridge the gap between philanthropic organizations and social enterprises 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 was inspired.

The program acts as a platform where the individual skills and availability of iCats are matched with open positions in selected philanthropic organizations and social enterprises.

The iCats Program was started by LGT Venture Philanthropy in 2007 to strengthen the intellectual capital provided to its portfolio organizations, alongside financial and social capital. In 2009, a number of trusted partners joined the initiative to leverage the existing resources and increase the positive impact also in their portfolio organizations.
