How We Work

SELECTION PROCESS The Rocket Foundation team performs detailed due diligence on selected projects which align to the Rocket Foundation themes. We assess the project’s detailed business plan and proposed impact creation to identify social enterprises that are truly aligned to our mission and where we can multiply their impact creation.

COACHING & MENTORING

FUNDRAISING Part of our commitment to the projects we select includes project funding. Funding is partly through the Rocket Foundation’s own capital and partly from fundraising from the Rocket Foundation supporters. Donations to The Rocket go 100% to fund our portfolio projects.

MEASURABLE IMPACT We set project specific KPIs on which our portfolio projects report to us. We are actively involved with each project – we monitor performance on an ongoing basis, measuring and reporting to our donors on the impact creation.

COACHING & MENTORING We partner with our portfolio projects for the long-term. Throughout our due diligence and monitoring process we continually look for areas where we can support with more than just financing. Where appropriate, we match the skillsets from The Rocket Foundation network to our projects in a mentoring and coaching capacity to help scale and multiply their impact

In this way we bring projects addressing today’s societal and environmental issues closer to donors so that the impact that can be created from donation becomes more tangible. We source projects, screen projects and present projects to individual and corporate donors so that they can match them to their own philanthropy strategy. We provide support and coaching bringing together our extended networks to accelerate the impact that change makers can create and we monitor and report on the projects that we support so that donors can see how their capital translates to impact. Accelerating the flow of capital to where it can really make a difference.
