Scaling Impact Partners.

Philanthropy can do more. Infrastructure is how.

Scaling Impact Partners builds the infrastructure that makes philanthropy as effective as possible on the world's most important problems.

Our Approach

Meta-philanthropy: building the ecosystem, not just funding it

Philanthropy only delivers on its promise when the right infrastructure exists around it: convenings where donors learn and collaborate, fields ready to absorb funding well, and advice that connects capital to the highest-impact opportunities. A single improvement to how philanthropy operates compounds across every dollar that flows through it.

What We Do

Three lines of work

No. 1

Convenings & donor collaboration

We organize convenings that connect donors with leading experts, improving donors' ability to make informed decisions and to collaborate rather than work in isolation.

No. 2

Field building & incubation

We build out the fields where critical work needs to be done, including incubating new nonprofit initiatives where the right organization does not yet exist.

No. 3

Fundraising & donor advising

We raise funds for high-impact work and advise donors directly.

A UK Nonprofit, Working Globally

Based in the UK, focused internationally

Scaling Impact Partners is a nonprofit based in the United Kingdom with an international focus. From the UK, we work to make philanthropy on both sides of the Atlantic effective and well coordinated, alongside partners in other parts of the world. And some of the most consequential problems — including AI — operate at the international level. They need philanthropic infrastructure built to match.
