How the collaboration of two small Innovative CIC’s, a company called Take A Punt, a few SMEs and other organizations are empowering large scale social impact through outcome driven investing.
Imagine a world where everyone has the opportunity to make a positive difference in their communities, regardless of their background, circumstances or challenges.
Imagine a world where investors can support businesses and projects that create both financial and social value, while measuring and reporting on their impact.
Imagine a world where social enterprises, charities, CICs and SMEs can access the resources and support they need to scale their solutions and achieve their goals. Imagine a world that is no longer dependent on donation.
This is the vision of a collective made up of:
The Auxilium Society CIC,
Bushido Social Impact CIC,
Take A Punt Group (TAP),
The Kurious,
The Raindance and a handful of start ups and SMEs.
They found that they all share a common desire to empower individuals and organizations within underserved communities to find, fund and foster a brighter tomorrow for all.
Through a universal portal that has been created called TAPinto.me this unlikely “Collective” provides a range of support services and resources to help 4th sector organisations, social enterprises, CICs, charities, SMEs and individuals to achieve their social and environmental goals.
TAPinto also offers access to investment opportunities for people who want to support businesses and projects that create positive social change and generate financial returns that they would ordinarily never ever hear about..
The Collective’s approach is based on the CIC’s outcome driven Community Social and Impact Investing (CSII) program.
What is CSII?
CSII is a form of investing that seeks to create both social and financial value. CSII focuses on buying outcomes and positive results that are achieved by the investees, rather than the inputs or activities that are undertaken.
Why does CSII make a difference?
CSII considers the impact that the investments have on the wider community and society, as well as the individual beneficiaries.
By using CSII, the Collective can maximise social impact and create a multiplier effect that benefits individuals, businesses, local communities and even entire economies.
What benefit does TAPinto offer?
TAPinto allows the leveraging of the Collectives strengths and connections in business, consulting, grant seeking, new technologies, innovative funding, education and non-traditional financing abilities.
This enables TAPinto to identify and close gaps in available services for people and organisations, all to often deemed ineligible or denied access to mainstream resources.
The TAPinto portal allows frictionless collaboration between all manner of CICs, charities, businesses and other organisations, to help move projects forward that may be struggling to find seed funding or support from traditional sources. It also helps its investees to measure and report on their social impact, using frameworks such as the Social Return on Investment (SROI), the Impact Management Project (IMP) and CSR (corporate responsibility) monitoring.
Through TAPinto the Collective is available to anyone, including organisations, who are interested in contributing to or joining projects that promote social good, and share our goal of empowering individuals to create healthier communities and improve their lives.
TAPinto has been featured in various media outlets such as [Identity Digital] and [NEEChamber Network], where you can read more about our work and achievements.
TAPinto and The Collective are not just another network or platform, we are part of a movement that aims to transform the way people think about investing, business and social impact.
We are changing people and organizations from passive Donors into active Community Social and Impact Investors.
