Primevest's Commitment to the Community

Primevest and the Community is Primevest's network-wide philanthropy programme that aims to improve the lives and prospects of children and young people in the local communities and those touched by Primevest's portfolio companies. The programme focuses on four areas where Primevest's donations, skills and knowledge can make the most impact: Education, Employability, Enterprise and Venture Philanthropy..

Active Engagement

Primevest and the Community has developed many active partnerships with venture philanthropy groups, not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises across Primevest's global network. Through these partnerships, Primevest provides a package of support which typically includes funding, pro bono expertise, access to the wider Primevest network and employee volunteering.

Working with Primevest Funds' Portfolio Companies

As well as supporting Primevest portfolio companies' own corporate responsibility initiatives, they are encouraged to engage directly with Primevest and the Community. This allows Primevest and the portfolio companies to mobilise their collective resources to reach and support more communities. These are often lasting partnerships that live beyond Primevest's period of ownership

Making a Real Difference

Primevest's focused philanthropic efforts have an impact, in big and small ways. The international Primevest Young Innovator Awards were established in 2015 and have so far provided seed funding for 90 young entrepreneurs in the UK, USA, Spain, France, Poland, Brussels, Hong Kong, and San Francisco to create the business and social enterprises of the future.

At the same time on any one day you might find Primevest people helping a child with their maths and reading, building up a young person's confidence, or running a CV writing workshop - all focused on giving the next generation a step up.
