Good Deed Impact Fund
Good Deed Impact Fund is the first venture philanthropy fund in Estonia. We help to launch and scale impactful initiatives that solve pressing problems in the Estonian society. We work with complex issues in education, social inequity, public health and environment.
We work with a small number of impactful initiatives at one time providing both financial and non-financial support from a dedicated team and pro-bono experts. Together with entrepreneurs and enterprises that care for our future, the state and leaders in social change we drive for positive and lasting impact.
Initiatives
We work with initiatives preparing to scale and initiatives in the start-up phase (vs preparing to launch). Our experience starts from piloting to impact measurement, people, communication and strategy development. We are looking for initiatives that:
- solve pressing problems in the Estonian society,
- are committed to impact measurement and have (potential for) high impact,
- have a strong team,
- have a working financing model,
- benefit from capacity-building.
