A look back at the conference “Scaling up social innovations: how can patrons change the game?”

On Tuesday, March 22, 2022, we were at the Philanthro-Lab to discuss the role of patrons in the scaling up of social/environmental impact structures with five speakers.
The event brought together a large audience of foundations, social enterprises and actors from the SSE ecosystem, and addressed key issues such as:
- The importance of supporting first and foremost and over time the intention of scaling up rather than the journey to get there.
- The establishment of a relationship of trust and co-responsibility between the sponsor and the project leader, key factors in the success of the change of scale.
- The allocation and type of expenses to be covered by the financial support: supporting operating expenses, particularly HR expenses to structure and facilitate the change of scale (HR and support functions for example) and not just projects.
