Purposeful Ventures
Our vision is of a fairer society where all young people thrive.
Purposeful Ventures partners with social entrepreneurs and philanthropists to improve the education and well-being of young people from their earliest years.
We define and diagnose the issues affecting children and young people, analyse evidence and explore the most promising solutions. We then select, accelerate and, where we find a gap, incubate organisations which tackle those issues. We offer more than just funding to our charitable organisations. Our expertise, operational experience and networks enable us to deliver tailored, hands-on support with a relentless commitment to system change.
Originally built within Ark, the UK educational charity and multi-academy trust, Purposeful Ventures spun out of Ark in September 2023. We have a strong track record of supporting innovation in education and for young people, ranging from Now Teach (teacher recruitment) to Frontline (children’s social work) to STiR Education (international development teacher training).
We are working with a wide range of organisations across the following portfolio areas to build and strengthen outstanding organisations that deliver systemic impact.
