FCF’s core values and strategy
Aligned with the FCF’s core values and strategy, “Secured Livelihood and Improvement of Life Quality” accounts for the largest share of our impact spending. “Helping people to help themselves” is thereby actively implemented. “System Change” is second in line, followed by “Quality Education” and “Human Rights” – both of which are prerequisites for the emergence of any kind of social entrepreneurship.
Whilst the above definition of impact areas provides a good overview of FCF’s major impact areas up to date, we are striving to increasingly measure the impact of our investments on an international and cross-cutting level. The ideal tool for this are the SDGs, the United Nations’ “Sustainable Development Goals”.
FCF not only invests in projects, but also supports platforms and organizations to generate multiplier effects, mostly through unrestricted core support. This is reflected accordingly in our weighted SDG evaluation (below).
We aim for social entrepreneurs who provide technological and scalable solutions, and focus to positively and sustainably impact Quality Education (SDG4), Social Injustice (SDG16) and Climate Change (SDG13).
