Our Model: Venture Philanthropy
Because EBRP takes concepts from principal investing and applies them towards achieving philanthropic goals, your donation has the ability to fund multiples of its original value for years to come.
When we make a grant to a research project, we retain the added upside of generating a recurring donation stream if the therapy or product is commercially successful. We then use this revenue to fund additional EB research.
Historically, non-profits have passed these financial benefits to universities and commercial companies but EBRP participates in them to make philanthropy more sustainable. EBRP is proud to have partnered with the University of Minnesota and Stanford University in pioneering venture agreements that EBRP now uses for all of its projects.
