Investment thesis

As a private family foundation, Argosy Foundation emphasizes a process-oriented, due-diligence approach to its philanthropic partnerships, seeking the most effective and leveraged means of making charitable investments. It prioritizes partners and programs that add value to a field and generate lessons applicable to other philanthropic efforts. Argosy aims to address needs less likely to be met by governments or public foundations and to share knowledge and best practices with others. It values networking with peers and experts, and gathering and evaluating information is central to its decision-making; staff produce briefs and reports that are made publicly available to promote transparency. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals.
