Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation

The Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation is a venture philanthropy firm supporting early stage, high impact social enterprises. We believe that with early funding and rigorous support, exceptional social entrepreneurs, tackling some of society’s most complex problems, can make the world a better place. We find, fund and support exceptional entrepreneurs with three years of unrestricted funding and partner with them to help them reach their full potential and build their organizations to scale. Since we started in 2002, we have invested in more than 90 social entrepreneurs both domestically and internationally in a variety of issue areas and we plan to scale our organization to support an additional 100 social entrepreneurs in the next five yeas. Our entrepreneurs are making lasting change in the world and our portfolio reflects some of the most impactful new organizations in the social sector.
