LGT Venture Philanthropy - iCats Program

How organizations and social enterprises benefit from the iCats Program

"Your funds may have mobilized us, but it is your iCats who are optimizing our performance. If your funds are the vehicle, your iCats are the fuel."
Peter Shrimpton, CEO Heart

Many philanthropic organizations and social enterprises with good and innovative solutions to social and environmental problems lack the professional know-how and resources to implement these solutions in the most efficient way, especially during the growth phase. Unfortunately, hiring skilled managers at market rates is simply not a feasible option for most organizations, which is where the iCats Program plays a crucial role in bridging this talent gap.

  • Receive professional mentoring, training, consulting and implementation support or a fellow on a pro bono basis
  • Build a network with corporate world
  • Increase the professionalism and efficiency in the organization by applying corporate expertise
  • Raise awareness of effective solutions to social and environmental needs in the corporate world
