The Venture Philanthropy Funds is a new method of social investment for individuals or groups of people. This not only offers funds to help innovative projects and social organizations in Argentina, but also offers the donor's time and experienced advice. Social investment in funds improves human capital and likewise creates a new successful paradigm on the generation of social impact.

In the past August, the four winners of a VPF from HelpArgentina were announced, that, in this case, was initiated by an American. The donor is at the moment investing US$ 80,000, as well as his advice to social initiatives. He claims "when basic business principles are applied to social sector, better results can be achieved".
