Purpose of community
Beacons Connect is a private network for connection and conversation between philanthropists and social investors, and their professional support network. Delegates at events like the Beacon Philanthropy and Impact Forum tell us "we don't want the conversations to stop". Beacons Connect provides a trusted space for valuable peer to peer conversations to continue, or for new ones to be started or joined. It is also somewhere to discover or cement connections and opportunities that grow philanthropy and social investment. Finally, it is where you can ask those private questions or hold those debates that you can’t see yourself posing anywhere else. The network is run by The Beacon Collaborative. We believe in generosity and our mission is to grow philanthropy and impact investment among wealth-holders in the UK. Membership is reserved for the philanthropists, social investors, organisations, partners and advisers that we collaborate with. Please note that we ask you to provide a profile photo, title and a brief bio to join. Why Beacons? Because that's what we are: citizens shining a warm and encouraging light on the vital and rewarding role of philanthropy and social investment in a thriving and caring society. Thank you for being here 🙏
